Actually I am at the center
of your subconscious
I am the witch
the mother
the excreted
said the old woman
I'm the damned dark of the moon
Have you not observed
people don't write poetry
about flowers
these days
so what said the tulip
lightly tossing her blossom
the bees dig us
A pack of us streaming
down a city street
remembering when we were wolves
makes you stop in your tracks
even a single one of us
unleashed
scares you doesn't it said the dog
