My Silver Bullet

                             I
Turned into something of a wolfman.
(Beauty will do that to a man sometimes).

                             In 
A dream I was told you lived in a motor home. 
Somewhere on the continental divide (so unlike you).
In the frothy whirl of a dream, I was at your door and howled.
It was obvious you weren't home for quite some time.
I stepped inside as if I'd been there a thousand times.

                      Everything 
Just like your mind, your place was in great disarray.
A single silver bullet embedded in a wicker nightstand.
I never did reacquaint myself with that angelic face.
That turned a man into a howler on a permanent chase.

Ha, ha! So that's what happened to me! ... At any rate: What do you call a Werewolf who's not aware of what he is? -- An Unawarewerewolf... Oh, well. It's late... Cheers, Gershon
