Wolf Brain
by Alira Cohen 

That oh-so-silver smile 
Mouths with knives like broken glass edges 
Spider legs tossed
All about the room
Throwing, scraping, clambering, clawing 
Through walls, through paint
Straight past
The architect’s pride
Oh see
How it howls, its broken beastly head 
Flung back 
Pack after pack after pack 
They come cowering 
Courageously  
Scorched animals from beneath the earth
These nightmares mean
Exactly what they tell me
I run, splintering bones
But they are always so close behind me.
