Another opportunity to hone my free writing chops courtesy of Kellie Elmore’s Free Write Friday, this week ably hosted by Mark Schutter.
Here’s the prompt:

VegaStar Carpentier captured this image of a Hunter’s Moon from Paris, France on Oct. 30, 2012 using a Canon EOS 1000D. October’s Full Moon is called the “Hunter’s Moon” or “Blood Moon”. It is the first Full Moon after the Harvest Moon (the Full Moon nearest the Autumnal equinox) and it gets its name from hunters who tracked and killed their prey by autumn moonlight, stockpiling food for the winter ahead and marked hunting season in North America.

Blood Moon
How long you have lurked
in the forests of my psyche.
Stalking.
Eluding my every effort
To resolve once and for all
Our entanglement.
A game of cat and
Mouse. You after me; me
After you. Under a
Blood moon.
Shadows cross
The path; obscure the view.
Be there, if you must,
But away, far away,
As I stockpile the best
Of me for use
On a future day.

Thanks for visiting …
