The Wolf

Lindsay Mayeux 1992 (United States of America)

devilish eyes
watching
waiting
still as a statue
waiting for the time to strike
pretending to not be a threat
a bobcat

I know it's fake
it is real -
but a deceiver
it's hungry
for me

in a breeze passing by
from behind me
running towards the beast
dark gray fur
a snarl
fangs
a wolf
the wolf
my protector
he strikes true
aiming for the neck
to kill the snake eyed cat
