Raven's Shire Fairies Tales
A Bunnik
Steam
as thick as darkness mingles with the scent of old pine boards within
the ancient bath house where a bunnik lay resting, sleeping, dreaming
of the sun and the rain. Remembering when he was a fur tree growing;
rising higher and higher with his brothers and sisters. Squirrels
playing among his branches, stealing his seeds.
The Bunnik wakes.
Walking pacing the bath house, claws of iron scraping hard wood. Rough
feet sanding the edges to a smooth sheen. Wood dust rises and the smell
grows. The bunnik rests once more.
Cuddling the darkness, the dull and dim beauty of the sauna.
People
pass in and out and rest beside him, feeling his presence, beautiful
and strange like reverence at a church. Rough hands scrape people as
they wash with bars of lye and fat to warn of danger, of the wrong
path. Soft hands pat them when they are right. But no one ever sees
him. The bunnik is always alone.
