Alice and Uncas.

Sliver of silky black
A feather soft but blood red
Hard young flesh displaying trophies
Hide and skin flash alternately, unknowingly
Eyes that know not to question; but burn sun bright.
Telling you, willing you to survive.
But we will question. We will probe and question and wonder
Our eyes wide when confronted with brutality the stranger bringing death.
I hold no comfort in this. I belong to the passion of living. One skin belies another, for I am born not of my father or my mother. I am not proud of the questions. I love the all-knowing bright eye.

Limbs stretched, Features contorted with the pain of living, loving, being.
An open wound on flesh unhealed, scars of battles never realised, the silent strength of you shattered into piercing feeling.
Destroy anything that prevents you from her, knives flash blood falls, young lives swift and fast and ripe with the fullness of the living
Death comes to the warrior as his heart-eyes see their one last wish
Their dying wish; her face his agony
For even before death it’s a love unspoken,
Then silently he falls
His pain forgotten
All but her, forgotten
Dead.
