Djuturna Fades

.
…This day
If Pahn says..................
or does......
......anything wrong
people fade..................
..........and lose their power

Also Pahn............................
has a gun.......................
with which
he can make them fade...away
..............................................intentionally

He walks around speaking and shooting

Sometimes people fade
..........others seem immune
He has limited control… .......

…Pahn comes to a dam ..........................
and climbs
through the rock..................
................and brush......beside it
to the reservoir

full and blue

He sloshes
Around
.....the mucky
edge
...........to a small...grassy

meadow in the sun

..........................He remembers
earlier having seen
Djuturna here

.....................................Standing

and reading a book

He hopes to find her now
.......................sitting on the green...because
...........he misses her
......................and needs her advice

but when he comes around
.........................................the shore

the meadow
..............................is empty

He checks...................................
......................the brush......and woods....bordering

........the grass
...........................................but she has gone
.
