Lycanthrope

Darting furtively through the mist

Cursed under lunar brightness

The valiancy of my heart

Slashed by razor teeth

Became my darkest side

Evil enclosing

My nocturnal lair

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Mud tracked prints

Find me sprawled

In the dawn of twisted sheets

Like tormented trees

Gnarled from remembering

What blackened life

Is forever gone

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

But only the music

Of wind and owls

And the crackling rain

Had abided my incessant howls

Until yet another night

When gliding clouds

Reveal another full newness of moon

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
