I wish that I could go back in time

To the way things were.

Slip

Through the small gap

in the fence.

My bow waiting

In the small hollow of a log

And we

Would slip away

Into the heart of the woods

And do

What we did best.

But that was then

Before it all turned in on us.

Before my old self died.

Was killed

Murdered

Like Rue

And Glimmer

And all of them

But me

Me and Peta.

We survived.
