if the predator felt the sting of infinity,<\/p>\n
his pelt brushed against my skin, warmed me to the core.<\/p>\n
I went for the wolf crown, adorned in diamonds and lust,<\/p>\n
must have been \u00a0tragic, \u00a0escaping from his mouth,<\/p>\n
with carnage and sharp teeth,<\/p>\n
his howl shook all the veins straight up like hairs,<\/p>\n
pulling apart my only need.<\/p>\n
he found blood moons in my eyes,<\/p>\n
he forgot how to handle with care,<\/p>\n
and shifted all the buildings in my soul,<\/p>\n
toppled them all, built from straw and bad things.<\/p>\n
touched his brown fur, crawling in the forest, rumbling and crumbling,<\/p>\n
and letting his shadows out to play, wild and disastrous like all my omen and prayers.<\/p>\n
His brown eyes carnal in the way we talk about the world,<\/p>\n
he still haunts me still, at least I wear his wolf crown,<\/p>\n
and I can’t stand in the darkness without feeling him all around,<\/p>\n
like some sort of phantom thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
