Beast Inside

Come with me

To the looking glass

Do you see her?

I see her

From time to time, but

Only a glimpse

Iron Ore

Pupils, peering in

Look closer, please

A shimmer

Of golden tendrils

Wyrms on her back

Do you see?

I’m trying to warn

you. Look closer

Oh! See now

how her fangs have grown

Sharper than steel

Do you not

See what lies beneath?

Please, just focus.

That dread smile

I see it now. She’s

Spotted you now.

Go now, please

I can handle her

Why? Don’t you know?

That wolf there

Is me. And she will

Be till the end.
