Werewolf Dreaming

Tonight, beneath this too-bright moon
I hunger to howl down this wall
between the mind and mouth

To rend the curtain
That distorts the world we share
Into my child's kingdom of dreams,

To have the courage
to strip my masks and stand naked
before the one I fear most

To lay this single moment's being
Across the chasm between us
And meet you soul-to-soul at last.
