Love bites back

She Wolf

Based on true events.

My fear grows faster than her hair,
her sharpened claws that scratch the stairs,
and eyes who lost their human stare.

She
starts growling ferociously.
Run,
my heart keeps telling me,
Run,
your girlfriend’s not to see,
for she wants no more of me.
When she eats,
should not be me.

Howling fills the night with heat.
Fear puts weights upon my feet,
as I try to leave the seat.

As I see life growing short,
I explain: “The plate, you see—
was the cat. It wasn’t me.”

I usually write about life’s bigger themes, like life, death, and the human condition.

Today, though, I wanted to share something a bit different: a horror-comedy poem about my girlfriend transforming into a “werewolf” after I accidentally broke a plate.

I hope this playful piece brought you a smile, or perhaps a growl.
