"You are protected..."
Vol. 2 (continued from last week)
A voice seemed to rumble
from the attic of the heavens
or
cellar of the earth
or from within
and like I'd received a shot of pure
undiluted power
waves of it undulated in the air around me.
The baboon and hyena disintegrated even as they drew nearer to me.
I fell down on the grass laughing as the lion
perplexed
circled around trying to find them.
Although I froze in my hilarity when I felt the earth vibrate with his leaps and bounds
then moments later the humid gamey aroma of his breath surrounding me
the dry nubbiness of his tongue on my face
the slickness of his sharp teeth grazing my scalp.
It was now his turn to laugh
and soon we laughed together
with a spirit as relentless in gaiety as the hyena's as I hung myself from his belly with arms strong as the baboon's
and we raced across the countryside alongside the train tracks...~More to come from Lore of the Lookbook~
