Hunters Moon

Teeth snapping I back away He follows with his dirty scent The cage of metal surrounds me I have no where to go I growl I snarl I bite But he just laughs He takes me to a place That reeks of death And there he leaves me till the sun sits high after the moon He beats He teases He taunts He gives up And leaves till the moon sits high after the sun I hear him I smell him I see him Stagger towards my cage ‘just a little closer’ I think And he obeys He stops I wait … Fury consumes me as I pounce His blood, warm as fire fills my mouth As a pathetic gurgle comes from his, His heart stops He’s dead I won I stand over my kill in victory Then run off into the night The grass is wet under my four paws And the air is crisp And through the woods I can hear my sisters call to the moon The Hunters Moon
