#SlamWords #61stEdition r10 Rushing Creek

 

On all fours

on the bank

of a rushing creek

 

morning now, so

the arm I stick into

the icy water

is skin

with no fur,

 

and the blood the waters

wash off

- as always -

is not mine.

#SlamWords #61stEdition r4 Vistas and Valleys

 

I tell people that

I took up long haul trucking

to see America,

vistas and valleys,

amber grain &

purple mountain

stuff

 

Which is true, sure,

but when you're at the mercy

of that monthly moon, no other

job,

gives you such

 

a buffet.

Foggy Morning

 

Foggy mornings are the worst.

I mean, after a Moon I usually wake

up

disoriented anyway,

 

always naked,

trying to remember

where the hell I parked the rig,

 

usually drenched in

some poor schmuck's blood

 

& then add

zero visibility?

😉

Snow-Capped Beauty

 

Y'know, it's not

just about the smell of

sweat or the warm thick

taste of the blood of fresh kill,

 

but also feeling

intimately

the indestructible

power of

every ancient and

eternal

Snow-Capped Beauty

in the Alaskan wilderness

with my fangs

in your throat

#SlamWords #61stEdition r3 Into the Wilderness

 

Last few times,

during the change, been

hearing a howl: high,

feral, sharp,

salivatingly female.

 

I mean, I'm wild, man,

but this sound

is calling me

deeper

 into the wilderness
