The tall trees behind me breathe on my neck as I step out in the field.
Greyish clouds are playing hide and seek with the moon, acting as its shield.
My eyes get used to the darkness, the night bursts and flows into my irises.
The first raindrops slide down my back as I close my lids and dream of pyramids.
White lights flicker around me, they surround me like a cackle of hungry hyenas.
I taste the electric air with my lips, it wraps me in gentle foam like Venus.
A moment more and I will not feel the rain or the shadows standing behind me.
Just one more heartbeat and I will have the courage to follow you blindly.
