LEAVE ME TO THE WOLVES
I'd never held a hand so tightly, and the forest was howling, the ground was thick
and I never caught branches they whipped back
as I pulled her along she'd loosened her grip
and like running in honey we slowed to a walk,
and she turned to the forest and I wanted to talk,
and my voice was a lump, as silent as films, just fog on a window
and her ears were hollow, and eyes through the trees, went straight to my knees,
can you please leave me to the wolves,
the teeth are refreshing
the dangerous undressing
I'd never seen this look in her eyes before,
and the vines they grew up and around in between us,
and the boldest retreat was scaring me shit less
and the whispering woods, tried to talk to me gently
she lay on the bed of wet leaves and relief
and she could see straight up and all I could see the teeth,
and the circle grew tighter, and the paws they were silent,
and her fingers they trembled with anticipation
the reluctant voyeur I sat in the trees,
can you please leave me to the wolves,
the teeth are refreshing
the dangerous undressing
and I watched for an hour or two like a servant,
but I couldn't here screaming, only her breathing,
and all I was seeing, was animals feeding,
and tails were wagging, and tongues were lapping,
and bellies were filling but no one was killing,
just craving whatever it is that where craving,
and finally they parted, with group satisfaction,
and she sat in the clearing, licking her wounds,
just like nothing had happened, four her legs underneath her, ready to run,
for no-one could keep her, and finally I knew she was an animal too
I knew this forest and I knew these wolves and I'd read the book and I know how it ends
and I left the forest to do it again
the heaviest body
the breath of a stranger
the teeth are refreshing
the dangerous undressing
