I'll Wait





I'm not going in those woods tonight.
I may not ever.
I'll wait.
Wait until the draw is undeniable.
Wait until the strongest creature in there
comes and takes my hand.
I want, I need that protection.

    I think you felt the menace which the picture suggests, with its strangling undergrowth...

    Ooh I like this take on the picture. You need the man from my poem (but you can't have him). :)
