It was so quiet
The silence of the dead
You can almost hear the thoughts
Tip-toeing through your head
Somewhere out there
Under a wispy yellow moon
They lay in waiting
Contradicting powers
The predatory flowers

Daun
My sister
We share the same “cold” mother
I trust her with my back
Unlike most of the others in our pack
It was one of those missions
Rendezvous with another woman
A formidable old enemy, wishing an alliance
I was curious
Daun was furious
I was the boss
It was going down, 
Regardless of the cost

Sitting and waiting
I had no fear
Daun was never suppose to be
Anywhere near
They insisted
I had to be alone
Wanted to be alone
The stars…
Drifting
Whispering my song
Closed my eyes
And reached out…
Not a thing!
Nothing but…
Waiting….

And as the night slowly gave way
To a new morn
The chill surrendering
To an encroaching warm
It happened
In a blur of motion
They came and tried
And viciously died…

And we watched the sun rise
Side by side
Bloodied reptilian spawns
Venomous Slayers
A buck and a fawn
Basking in…
Another “cool” Daun
Moment

Heaven…
The Glorious Death Scent

Some things never change
It was so quiet…
