the mind of a wolf and prey
inside the belly of a wolf, i found
odd companions - never did mingle
with them in days when grass was green,
though much in common i began to see
of rushing wind, of howling grief,
exuberance and depths of getting smashed,
rock bottom and then some.
a pattering of feet, a rummaging of old drawers
to find hidden treasures/a gasp when
green began to fill on a bent branch unable
to taste the light. the cookie jar still locked up,
with letters tucked between each wafer. then
the words tugged at memories passing,
reenact the same scene with a twist. a crunch,
bones breaking with the marrow like light.
more companions slide down, this slippery slope
quite ingenious because it's just a slide down right?
fun. with wind rushing past ears, what a sound
of delight, of bliss, of dazzling stars twinkling
away till the morning dims out players with too much
air. then the bottom of the well is reached, sludge
becoming a sticky mess in the throat, cough and spittle
away while onlookers give wide eyed stares. how did
you come here?
and fervent stars dazzle once again to tell
of stories bold. howling cries in the cave,
the tug of instinct not quite right. then gravity
does her work with the spin, twirl and dizzy
waves upon waves where a yellow glare
is seen to be just another north star pointing right
though the jaws opening wide should have
put a stop to this madness. then on to a slide,
it's just for fun.
like honey, like bursting stars filling the damp
universe not able to feel. the growling aches
rumble like thunder, the munching goes on,
with meat being torn, mastication does her work
till the juice overflows, froths right out, a rabid
wolf grinning at the green green grass -
it's heaven. it's beauty. it's a calling.
and the grass responded in kind. ate the
grin like kids finding letters tucked inside
mountains of wafers buried deep inside
one cookie jar bursting inside the belly
of a wolf. too much spittle they took as kindred
spirits. they were spirits all right. just not kindred.
