Just Human
Moonlight irks the beast
disrupts slumber, illuminates retnas
red as coals, bright as fire in darkness
hard to catch glimpses of.
Crooked cane legs, dexterious to the T
She trains her offspring to rise to the occasion
Trains them to murder, ravage, prey
Penetrated by young.
Weaknesses unexplained to each
Such that they derive from
No love though same effect, affect
Consumed.
succumb to nature, succumb to instinct
not give in, but Become, Learn
Put forth effortless thoughts
Be the yearner, the stalker, the hunter, not the hunted.
