Waiting Out The Wolves


 
At night they circle the campfire

Calling to one another


This one is mine


He's ripe for the plucking


Heads he's mine


Tails he's yours


You always get the head


Aaaah but the tail is where the meat is


Howl a song for me


You know the one about the headless camper


They laugh and howl and chase each others tall tales


With further tales of flesh and consumption


Suddenly the mood changes and the laughter dies


A far more serious tone envelops them


Like the fog it comes upon them silently


It pervades the prey almost sinister


Did you see him?


He's still moving


I don't need to see


I smell his fear


He won't get far......
