Wolf / by Devin Williams

Bought a wolf on the Black Market

today.

Barked

, bit, and

gnawed my finger tips.

I thanked him;

no nails to bite,

no nervous tic tonight.

I thanked him;

ripped my love seat,

White.

I saw the cotton gushing from a hose.

Bought a wolf on the Black Market

yesterday.

No noise today;

wolf clawed hole in wall

and had squirrels to play.

Wrote a bit

and

blazed in it.

Bought a wolf on the Black Market;

day 3.

He crept all day dazed.

Howled at the sun. Ran around the party. Friends left holy,

buzzing.

Bought a wolf and now I’m dying.

I will my life to him;

he made me who l am.
