Ursidae - Huldra

They weighed our hearts on sin alone

A transformation that can never be undone

Their soles will never again grace the waves

The punishment borne by Callisto and her cub

You took

The light from the stars

And soon

The sun will follow

Water would douse the fire

In their hearts

But the first fire is

Flickering

Tendrils of light from the

Sky reach down

Water to drown out the

Hope they had

Clouds swept in to make the

Light recede

Hurried off and kept at bay

Scorned and betrayed by those in who

They placed their trust

A trust misplaced

Amber eyes and claws

Then the hunter

Pierced a poison arrow

Through the coat of fur and flesh

They were scorned and left on their own
