Poetry list
lycanthropy
you would never think
the shepherd could
become the wolf they
have and what a bite
and what a death I
live only in faith and
exist but in name
through all my days
I have naturally eschewed
ambition jealousy
competition and status
happily feeling love
even in the darkest of
days but now I am
judged sentenced condemned
and executed in the name
of all that love
is it I who is the wolf
