Episode 2: Enter

I.

Deer at the water
she circles what she already knows
listening for wind

II.

Fear rises taller
a hawk shadow passing through
then the light returns

III.

Cold surface waiting
I touch and everything opens
soft as hidden moss

IV.

Minutes learn my name
quiet honest unafraid
nothing feels forced here

V.

Afterward I stand
what I dreaded for so long
turns out not to be stone
