She-Wolf

"Inspire Howl Wing"

My gaze appears tame

Docility may deceive

She-wolf stays alert

Threaten my pup or my pack

My teeth will tear you apart

Even a killer needs rest

Hunting down prey is tiring

Tearing flesh from bone, wearying

The grip tightening around the neck as

the pulse quickens, rising

in a frenzied crescendo

to its peak,

crashing

releasing

It’s an act of love

And I,

spent and sated,

sleep.
