Deep Woods

When I was lost in the deep woods
Drowning in the river
Poisoned by the foliage
And the absence of shelter

I think you came looking once
In the late evening
Sauntering in, calling my name
Your impatient tones carried by the wind
Carried by the wind

My tongue was swollen
I could not answer
But as quickly as you came, you left the deep woods
Knowing I would make it
I’m trying to see the path
But it is simply too dark
I’m attempting to stay warm
But I cannot light a fire

I remember the medicine
I madе for you when you were sick
I addеd my right hand
And the yellow spirit
Yellow spirit

My tongue was swollen
I could not answer
But as quickly as you came, you left the deep woods
Knowing I would make it
I don’t often pray
But I am praying
Not to find a way
But to forget that I prayed
