Dancing tendrils
Dancing in the tender wind
Warm sighs grace the skin
To let him in or keep him out
Branches part, and links unlock
Scraping thorns
Cutting in the tender wind
Eyes redden
Blood flows
Drip drip dripping
In the cutting wind
Hollow wounds
Gaping mouths
Silent screams crying
In the freezing wind
The flame puffs out
Branches close
Links lock tightly
In the lonely wind.
