Howl

There's blood in my eyes

And on my hands.

Blood, thick, like soup on concrete.

And a howl in the air.

A howl in the light.

A howl in my head.

"Wait awhile"

"I'm sorry"

"Let me think"

There's blood on my knees.

And on my feet.

Blood, wet, like water only heavier.

And a howl in my ears.

A howl in the trees.

A howl in my skin.
