The Sound of Animals

The Sound of Animals

A Poem by John Dennis Gillespie

I woke up to the sound of the animals.  They were gnashing their teeth and clawing at my thoughts. 

I woke up to the sound of the animals.  They were sleeping in my animosity while it was beating like my pulse. 

I woke up to the sound of the animals.  They were destroying my peace and ruining my cause. 

I woke up to the sound of the animals.  They brought me into the dark; they barked, they snarled, they gnarled, they killed what was left of me.
