L.A.W

Love and wolves. 
A pack of loners.
Will they commit? 

Tell me where can I salivate, these vapid words.
Carcinogenic hit.  

Try I do -
to subdue my howls.
And at night, I sat in smoky crowds. 
Trying to forget myself in sweet rum.
Numb.
Tyring to evaporate what I've become. 
This ain't no movie scene.
Stop with the drama queen.

Tonight I skinned myself, hanging fur around pretentious necks. 
Strangling in my uncertainty. 
All it takes is focus. 
The word stalks me like a plague of locusts. 

Love and wolves. 
I'm not sure I get it.
I'm not sure if tonight I'll forget it. 
The music summons in the background, but the beat is lifeless I know.


Time to take off your red cape.
Stop looking for your lover.  
There's a new law in this forest of wolves 
I'm no longer undercover.
