Fumbling Sheep
I'm a really hungry wolf
One that’s never satiated.
Your heart isn't enough
I need your whole arm off
I'm a truly gentle wolf,
Feeding on your bounty.
Maybe flesh is all I need
Not the tears you cry with doubt
What a lucky sheep you are,
Well-fed, with plenty of wool
Yet your eyes are full of fear,
Fumbling blindly in the dark.
"I mean no harm,"
The wolf insists.
He has no claws to wound,
Just teeth sharp enough to cut.
