The Chase

Anita Lipnicka

Through the back door of my mind
I go slipping out of time
I go sneaking out of life
To meet him

He's a wolf and I am scared
More and more unprepared
Do I have enough flesh
To feed him?

Do I have enough rope
To tie him to me tight and close?
Eye to eye and bone to bone
For longer

With no bullets in my gun
To the open wild I run
Don't know when and I've become
The wolf's girl

No more sleep and no more rest
Who's the hunter on this chase?
Losing fast my human self
Letters dropping off my name

Holly waters rain on me
Burn my eyes and make me see
Stop me running, break my knees
Have mercy

Now the Moon is on the rise
I feel the twitching in my thighs
From within the heart of night
He calls me

No more sleep and no more rest
Who's the hunter on this chase?
Losing fast my human self
Letters dropping off my name

No more sleep and no more rest
Who's the hunter on this chase?
Teeth marks on my milky throat
To the wolf I belong
