Full Moon

The howl escapes me,
I cannot help it;
an ululation heralds my arrival.
I am commanded.

Something has slept
but wakes now, is loosed,
something primal, instinct
given licence to devour.

She drives my sweet new youth,
my keen eyes, my potent musculature,
the urgent hormones
that set my new agenda.

She directs, she is
my dominatrix;
her whiteness
is fire in my veins.

Feelings unfurl from within
like a flag declaring dominance.
Hair bristles, bones crack,
she ordains my morphology.

And I am thirsty, and so hungry
to sate this new appetite,
to experience, to touch, to infect.
I change irrevocably. I am Alpha.
