teeth flash white, jaw snaps
carnivorous, ravenous
emaciated
beastly, starving thing
terrible in it's fury
confined no longer
violence, a staple
peace is a foreign concept,
home is where hearts stop
primordial urge
adrenal hunger, straining
Against iron chains.
calloused, chafed raw
visceral instincts woken
from a brumal sleep

teeth flash white, jaw snaps
carnivorous, ravenous
emaciated
beastly, starving thing
terrible in it's fury
confined no longer
violence, a staple
peace is a foreign concept,
home is where hearts stop
primordial urge
adrenal hunger, straining
Against iron chains.
calloused, chafed raw
visceral instincts woken
from a brumal sleep
my inspiration was Jack London's The Call of the Wild and John Myers Ohara's Atavism!!
