Within The Circle

by Jan Oscar Hansen

Around the burned down stable, near

the oak that was struck by lightning,

there is a silence within the stillness.

I can hear screams of stabled mules

running in circles trampling each other

into a bloody mass and falling beams.

Within the circle sheltered by whispering

leaves I can hear rattling of chains and

the forest afar sings of endless sorrows.
