surety praises
a false dawn blossoming
like glittering eyes
a snarl on whitened teeth
drawn behind damp lips
suffused with pious and pity

deep within
a heart wrung
jittered
in the ruin of taut
folds a cleft forfeit
trickles hot sequence

each restless motion
over waves like water
the liquid want
like a dark rush

an elongated spinal arch
like a bow stretched
for her archer
the fingers tossing
through a mane of tease

wavelength tension
crashes
this ease

love is a virus
spread
a heady sickness
driven

lightheaded
and full of visions
and in a dream
once sated
the animals roam
four footed
savaged by the
complex hoax

a strange and hungry
sultry host
a curious mystique ghost
full of svelte angular
momentum
and a quantum stillness
for the bright implosion
of illogical release

poetry howls
in a primitive
vowel
gutteral and entrancing
crawling through
windows of histories
to be held
before the suffused
and beautific invasion

To me this is the cycle of the Wolf,
Its primitive though positive actions
Spurred on by thousands of years.
Ghosted by some in fun or anger
Loved it, such a picture with the words
Beautific invasion.
