Where the Fences Stop

[kesela]

There is a place where the fences stop
The roads end
The wild begins

The rules of the wild are hard to learn
Don't speak at all
Watch your back

Creeping slowly through the bush
Stop and look
It will see you

The hush that steals across the land
The head looks up
The eyes lock yours

The shot that splits the hush in two
The eyes loose yours
The hush returns

Kneel beside the pool of blood
Fur in hand
Thanks in heart

There is a place where the fences stop
The wild creeps in
Respect begins
