My Secret Place
In a lion’s mane
the oils
the length
sometimes soft
sometimes harsh
sometimes not strong
coming out in my hands
other times it holds me in
through all the running
and hunting
and nightmares
How did I find him
Where did I find him
How did I end up in his mane
When he eats
getting splattered
by blood
Sustenance through all the fallow times
and split ends
When he is injured
his stuffing is red
and white
and fluffy
and I tuck it back in
and sew him up tight
He lives on a very empty plain
with me in his mane
roaming to the end of the world
at the end of the bed

Reads like a dark side of Seuss. Nice.
