Moonspear Lost in the Shadows

under a bush.

cold 
cold 
cold even there.

yesterday the moonglowmountain was so far, but nearnearnear if only shehe kept hisherlegs moving through heavy snow for an hour.

or two.

or a day.

or forever.

but the bush wasn't forever away, it was right there with warm brown loamy dirt where there wasn't any snow. was so easy to curl up. was so easy to fall asleep.

and the malnourished little dogbeast slept.
