Black Wolf

Inspired by grief

Have you seen the Black Wolf? 

It's prey knows it pounces 

consumes

destroys

Its gnashing teeth are lethal 

The cuts are deep 

Blood sprays onto bystanders

Appearing as victims instead 

There's no clear pattern 

Sometimes it starts as a growl

Then progresses to a maul 

Or attacks with no warning at all 

Your gashes heal but never completely 

20 years from now there will be a stinging 

Survivors live with paranoia 

Of the Black Wolf lingering
