haiku, aka SPOILER-FREE reaction post

I can't write a coda to that, at least not now - I refer you to the incredible Fleshflutter and the legendary Chash, or this wonderful 'Year of the Living Dead'.

But anyone who's seen the ending may understand the impulse that prompted me to go find this haiku I wrote some months ago at spnroundtable, which I'd been meaning to put up here anyway. If not, well. Enjoy anyway.


Hunting’s in their blood.
Even had Azazel not
added his blood too,

they’d have ended up
on these roads, these ghost-ridden
creature-tortured paths.

Someone has to be
the guardian, standing tall
against the shadows.

They are the blades, the
guns, the cleansing flames. They are
weapons incarnate

from earliest days,
both of them, primed and pointed,
aimed into the dark.



P.S. and/or WARNING: I do not expect/intend that comments will be kept spoiler-free.
