dryad by Rhyana Fishercoiled about herself
within a nameless glade
she fades from memory
the laughter of the trees
curls about her head
and she smiles at the sun
dappled shadows flutter
across her naked body
her only camouflage
she stands and stretches,
embraces the giggling wind
as it chases after her hair
dancing ferns stroke
across dew beaded skin
as she greets the new morning
there is no future
no past, no regrets
no place in civilization
she left that behind
when she escaped her humanity
and paid the price to forget
