Last Night

Last night I chased
a fox running rampant
through the woods
behind my home.

I will tell you this:
there is more carnal hunger
that flows through my veins
than human blood.

I caught up with the fox and tore out his throat.
I watched him bleed out and left him for dead.

In my mouth
grew stalactite fangs,
stretched my lips open
enough to encompass the earth --

and from the depths of my cavern
came a howl
that shook the heavens
and shattered the stars.
