A restless being
dark and powerful
she is the culmination
of voiceless years

The vast unsaid
in every feather
forged from silence swallowed
and quiet, rumbling rage

She swirls and swoops
with momentum building
anticipating the opportunity
to prey on me once more

Embodying all that I loathe,
I hate her but I am her
and so I won’t let her go
for fear I might go with her.
