Lay your head down, I won’t let them get you.


Your safe, she told Blackhoof. Your safe, I won’t let them have you. I won’t let them have you…they don’t care about you darling. She cried constantly on her fawns head. The fawn sucking the sorrow for the first time in his life. He drunk and tasted the deep gallows of fear and false hope. Stay, stay, she said crying. She would tell him to keep his head down whenever the fears came, to dream.

They moved on, like ghostly shadows, broken and sorrowful. They walked, and walked until the mother paused in movement. She coughed violently, black saliva came up from her mouth. “There blinding me,” she said. “I can hardly see.”

She turned her head to the fawn her eyes where like black holes and blood dripped like tears. “Where almost there Blackhoof…I won’t die until I know your at the mountains. You are my son…and I will love you even if I can’t ever see you again.”

Night

It came again, and so did the fears. “Shhh, child pay no mind to the noise they make. They only want to fool you and make you dream nightmares.” She cuddled him, and hummed quietly.

Her warmth was gone.

Her face came to him.

Black string twisting amongst her beautiful face.

“Lay your head down, sleep. I want you to only remember love.
Take care, take care, take care, take care, and take care.”
