So long small elephant

Plodding through the undergrowth with
Ferrets eating at my feet.
I talk aside to my soul,
‘Where have you gone?’.
Begone most unfortunate healing abscess
I need the pus to ooze over my legs
Filling me with a gentle calm
Begone foul beast
Eagle pecking at my shrivelling paws
Nails folded back and shattering
Crashing to the ground
Above and beyond the world we see
Tapping into silence
An unknowable depth
Fill my cup to the brim and drink deep
So long my love
