Crouched, silently, waiting for a motion

A cracking branch or rulstling leaves

Entering a new state of consciousness

An altered hearing, a clearer sight

Focusing on a prey, see its hearth beating

Notch an arrow, hold your breath

An eye, an arrow in sight

Another eye, same arrow inside

A life or anorher life?

The wheel keeps turning

Blood the most sacred material

Spilled but never wasted

The heart, center of life

severed, still beating

A gift, a life gone

A necessity, a life given

Its sacrifice

Won't be wasted

His spirit

Won't be shamed
