A flicker of humanity

 

Rushing.

Branches brushing fur,

twigs snap under paw

Running free

through the swirls of midnight.

A flicker of humanity.

I remember running

through the steel and brick

forest 

with you

in the light 

of the moon.

And as I flip back.

She is full tonight.

A sight that invites

my animal side out.

 

Feeling the bristles

of my fur billow

in the gusty wind that blows.

And I'm back by your side,

you curl up feline-like

as I stroke your hair.

You purr as I

sing to you there.

Now I'm just howling

at the moon,

to show I appreciate

the way her light glows.

It reminds me of you.

 

I hunger,

need to feast.

I never used to be ruled

by my instincts like this.

I reminisce

We used to wine and dine.

Under the silver skyline

we'd kiss.

\\now I'm just a beast,

supping blood

as I whine.

 

I see people

I devour them with my eyes

and I remember that night.

I told you to run for your life,

as I drew the beast to follow,

I watched you,

a silhouette in the moonlit hollow,

as the animal tore my flesh

in a single bite.

I feel a lone tear fall

and sing out another call

to the moon up high.
