Poem
My mind awakens
to this extravagant pull
  like being jerked
when standing to close
to a jet engine starting.
I feel my top rise,
   mind diving
      for the feel of the wolf
arising from its cage,
   surfing on a wave of adrenaline.

Shaking off the lethargy 
of my hibernation,
hunger stands up
   snapping at its chains,
my thoughts
traveling inches
   over the turbulent ocean
snatching tastes of scents,
      ever drawing closer
to the reason
of this rude awakening.

Every second
   another part of me
coalesces into 
    the true extension
of my morbid being.

A spark of direction
pops into my brain
and I step onto the light killing shadow
of a red oak
becoming a part of the darkness.
The glint of lights
    and the glitter of the waves
exist and de-exist 
as I pass.

Reforming in the endarkened corner
of a garden near a park,
    tiny shrubs
      entwined in vines.
Shift,
   behind an evergreen
      across the park,
Push,
   in a bookstore
      aisle three
         narrow but sleek,
Stab,
   behind my prey
      walking unsuspectingly.

Standing
   from the shadow
of the street sign in front of him
I ensnare my fingers
 around his throat
   drawing him
into the ebony silk
             that is me.
Slash,
   he slams
into a cobblestone wall
in a slim alley I’ve chosen.
Right foot sliding
I drop into a crouch,
   left finger blades
 tearing through
the flesh behind the right knee-cap
then flinging it,
 spraying a crimson trail
and hobbling my prize.
I slam myself against the wall,
staggering into its shadow
   then reforming,
      drawing him in close.
Bringing my head near his ear
  I crack my throat,
educating him to my primal cause,
  “All humans are hardwired
     to savage
ANY which cause harm
to a loved one.
Too bad for you”,
   then for emphasis
I rip off the funnel shaped appendage,
spitting it in his face.
