A shadow,
A twist:
An oak in the mist.
Tentacles,
Trunk,
Eyes? Knot-holes sunk.
Writhing,
Still.
Roots drink their fill.
Lichen
Scales
Glowing druid trails.
Crow
Alights
Strange sentience benights.
Clears
Its throat.
Croaks.
Hops to
Struggling thing.
Rustle quieting.
Old trail,
Worn path,
Violence without wrath.
