Chapter 26

Banished from familiar surrounding
Trapped by familiar hounding
A realm tide pulls
She is the unwelcome cur
And if I feel more nearly full
It is due to her
She lays swollen
Disavowed and dishonored
She cannot return what was stolen
The hole has been bored
Words they can never understand
Emotion only meant to expand
Departure to the shallows
Limited by so small a mind
Broken ties will fail to bind
Forcing a taste of murdered crow
The future is unwritten
An untold birth of possibility
Bleeding as I was bitten
I’m taking responsibility
When abandoned she rose
On to a path she chose
Down casting all the planned culture
Finding a perfect cure
A new woman for a new century
Fully formed in Asbury
Banished from the unabashed
She acts for more than they know
Her choices show
The right as it flashed
Before a saddened streak of eyes
Incapable of the slightest sense of compromise
