Dreaming of Bones -  by Stephanie Pui-Mun Law

I applaud the choice you make
the purest heart can turn to snake
if pain bites deeply for too long
a lullaby to siren song
to howling on a moonless night
tormented shadow, poised for flight
looks in at comfort, warmth once more
strains against the strident roar
of longing in the wild heart

one last look
roar crescendos
heart is shattered in the shadows
tiny frozen pieces there
and in the dark night now, beware,
a wounded, heartless creature roams
the darkness is its only home
let it go, let the wild be free
all that it knows or meant to be

don't call it back
have mercy on me
