the night is quiet and peaceful and
shattered by a single roar
he has never been more afraid
it’s three hundred steps to the jade palace
three hundred pounding heart beats
three hundred pleads
three hundred nos
three stripes on her forehead
three cuts across her chest
three minutes from the thunder to the flash
there is not a sound to be heard
