The Chase

Silence around,
The dancing shadows slumber,
The leaves are still,
No wind,
The boy creeps forward,
Silent,
On hands and knees,
Stalking,
The pig ambles on,
Innocent,
Unaware,
She can't see,
Him behind,
On the beach a roof is raised,
Something built for a life soon ended,
A boy splashes in the lagoon's clear water,
Glasses flash with knowledge,
And in the jungle he hunts,
Opaque eyes,
Red hair,
Shadows pattern his back,
He slides forward,
And prepares to,
Make a kill,
The boy at the hut freezes,
His dark eyes widen,
A dreamer's mind,
He knows,
Though does not know what he knows,
The chase is on.
