Tracking

Smooth mud over disturbed rock,
using eyes to engage a lock,
pressures build from behind,
as the fugitive is hard to find,
a broken twig or curled leaf,
seeing more evidence a relief,
with senses the others can't use,
given an offer he could not refuse,
finding this man innocent or not,
moving forwards to another spot,
he sees the time they gain,
knowing this man is in pain,
shot during his escape,
and blood drips from the gape,
eventually coming to a cave,
as this had become the fugitives grave.
