Hunts, Hurts And Healing
Unreliable Authors
Hunts, hurts and healing
Howling out in the rain
Intentionally concealing
Masking both sides of the pain
Searching for the devil
In the back seat of the church
Prey and predator, evil
Feeding desire and urge
Preparing your armor
Saving your face
Salvation and harm are
Kept in the same place
The heart of the hunter
An unreliable author
A full blaze in a dumpster
With no water to offer
Hungry for the chase
Being stalked by the hunted
Getting in your headspace
When your fears are confronted
At peace in the wild
No regard for consequences
Running free like a child
Jumping hearts and old fences
At the end of the hunt
Hanging out, in the trees
Are just the remnants of
Parts of both sides of me

I think we are all hunters and prey one way or another. Good job.
Powerful and fierce. The hunt becomes both wound and cure. Stunning imagery.
Nice! This is the first one I read for that challenge. Clever rhymes and flow throughout! Great work!
