Wolf Skin

On a stage, I was tasked
to be the wolf that hunted men
Oh but little did they know
I had my own wolf in the end

I met her wandering in the woods
she was dazzling, crimson red
though I mistook her for a girl
she had that sharp-toothed grin instead

And she whispers such sweet words
that trickle down through me like tar
stolen from the blood of song birds
through my lungs, into my heart

And so as ‘I’ became a ‘we’
she grew vicious, scary calm
and her vengeance? mixing paints
for writing poems in my arms

Though right now she seems quite sated
‘we’ can never become ‘I’
She is Jupiter’s wild storm
And we are living in the eye

Though her fire scorches earth
and her lips pour acid still
I can pluck at all her stitches
drink her courage, liquid skill

To wear her face,
unsheathe her claws
and go on stage,
and fool them all

I do not know if that makes me
a simple puppet to her whims
it doesn’t matter ‘I’ or ‘we’
because we’re finite, no one wins

  2. This one was puzzling and left me wondering if I didn’t get deep enough between the clever lines. Loved it!

  3. “On a stage, I was tasked to be the wolf that hunted men”
    “And so as ‘I’ became a ‘we’
    “To wear her face,unsheathe her clawsand go on stage,and fool them all”
    “it doesn’t matter ‘I’ or ‘we’ because we’re finite, no one wins”
    Revealing, reads well in ten dimensions.
    Hello, everyone!
    Applause!
