Warning/Content: My Halloween contribution.


Full of bad omens
Full moon
Moon so bright
Moon to catalyze change
Change of spirit
Change of body
Body that is unwilling
Body that is forced
Forced by a curse
Forced to face a myth
Myth turned real
Myth caused by a scratch
Scratch to my leg and shoulder
Scratch that happened in distant memories
Memories I’d like to forget
Memories which can’t receive doctoring
Doctoring is my trade
Doctoring cannot fix my curse
Curse remains for a lifetime
Curse embedded in my skin
Skin turns foreign
Skin sprouts fur
Fur sleek
Fur shiny
Shiny nose
Shiny eyes
Eyes that reflect moonlight
Eyes see changed hands
Hands can no longer write
Hands are now paws
Paws with claws
Paws for running
Running fast
Running through the city
City of pavement
City echoing my howl
Howl at the moon
Howl throughout the night
Night bright as day
Night that brought alterations
Alterations are unwelcome
Alterations must stay hidden
Hidden from him
Hidden for his protection
Protection from a scratch
Protection from danger
Danger to him
Danger of destroying
Destroying...
Him...
