Lycanthropy

LYCANTHROPY

wolf howling at the moon.

A white wolf running in a line.

My sisters and I twirled all night
while waiting for our brother’s bite
the wine ran free beneath the moon
we knew he’d be returning soon

wolf howling and blood red liquid dripping.

From ancient times we danced and chanted
ancestors still living well
each understanding family purpose
keeping secrets none can tell

We hear the painful howling
as if poured from Earth itself
our brother takes another soul
sacrificing earthly wealth

well cared for wolf with braided fur, howling.

well cared for wolf with braided fur, howling.

We answer with the healing howls
of welcoming our hero home
we clean his claws and wipe his paws
and take the chill from off his bones

colorful circle of women welcoming.

He once saw a Psychiatrist
who said he had Lycanthropy
and if he ever should get caught
he’d get him off, no penalty

older psychiatrist sitting in his professional, red chair, and writing on a tablet.

He told our brother not to worry
“the ailments only in your head”
just take these pills and you’ll be fine
too bad the Dr. now is dead

two hands shaking pills out of a prescription bottle.

two hands shaking pills out of a prescription bottle.

(He didn’t believe in Werewolves)

A werewolf slinking outside a window and peeking in.

A handsome, thick-furred wolf holding a red rose in his mouth.
