Luna, I see you though my window, I feel your fingers graze through my hair, aye how sonorous your presence is. the hair on my arms thicken, then my chest and legs. hands melt and freeze into black hooves, gently my face stretches outward, atop my head aches with the growing of antlers, they are small and young, still fuzzy with youth. In this moment I am the Elk, ears switching as hot breath swirls around the room flooded in moonlight. my call punctures the emptiness, guttural and majestic. I am the Elk of your black night.
