Throw Back and Forth

throwback and forth

moments 
indrawn moments
when the cave
returns to haunt
taunt
the soft thing

once wild uncomplicated beast
that knew the taste of warm. raw meat
whose roar would, make
the modern Ms. 
twist and hide
and does

feel her stretch
to tear the bonds of flesh
that bind her to this century
she is not long gone
but bids her time
her time...no matter when that is.
