She stood up

in the kaleidoscope of color and shape

as alarming sounds pulled her anxiously,

now toward the forest, now toward the field.

An impatient stomach forced her eyes downward.

Suddenly

the noise to her right was a bird call,

and a hyena cringed upon hearing a terrible

death threat,

and the world spoke to her.
