You Hunted Me Poem by Leonard Dabydeen

You
hunted
me like a
desire in storm
with your ambition for all to showcase.

I took flight for a reason beyond what
distance I went
not looking
where I
am.

Then
you grabbed
me short of
breath, panting in
desperation like a hopeless lost child.

I fell to the ground without a prayer
with bended knees
knowing that
all is
lost.

Then
I woke
hearing a voice
and thought I was
hallucinating as if in a dream.

The pack was around me in conference
with the leader
holding me
with a
smile.
