It’s easy to scapegoat anything to
avoid the discomfort of
knowing something.
Meanwhile halfway across the world,
a woman seethes with discontent,
appears in dreams
skinning otters.
Man with the cowboy hat
displeases her, unsettles. She
steps back, reflects – who holds the
Power to heal, the
Power to harm?
As the skinning flint drops from her
trembling hand, a glow emanates.
Awakened, she begins taking
control of her destiny.
