Growl

The wolf wind rakes its teeth
across the stanchions of paper birches
seeming to peel strips of bark
rolling back the pristine white flesh
to the tanned heart.

When winds blow off the bark from trees. That's when you'll find me on my knees. Down in the basement to stay alive. Hoping and praying that I survive.

That carniverous wind strafes the grizzled skin and bores to the fibrous core. A nice, metaphorical allusion. Enjoyed your imaginative verse!
