Numbness creeps along her arm,
drifting slowly about her skin
as the serpent coils, tight, then loose again.

Light then dark, black then white;
nodding infallibly through illusion,
chasing the dragon, escaping life's cognition.

An inscrutable understanding
as the paradox folds untrue,
her arms knot in pain
her skin shades white to blue.

Our Heroine moves day by day,
second by second fleeing the monster
threatening her mind and soul
in hopes to die a clean death.

You can't wake a person who is pretending to be asleep. -- Navajo Proverb

God, if this be a prayer, then I wish I did not understand this.

Ty, Phil...I asked for it didn't I?

I believe that our heroine posesses the strength to take care of the monster that no hero could match. . .
