The Beast


She is feral.
 
She is wild.
 
She is dangerous…
 
She knows nothing of
 
humanity,
 
with its soft touches
 
and tender wishes.
 
There is only 
 
weakness and strength,
 
death and survival.
 
If it is not her equal
 
in dominance then
 
it is prey…
 
 
or something to be easily
 
conquered.
 
She is the lethal part of me…
 
And inside she cares nothing
 
about kind gestures.
 
All she wants is to sate the
 
hunger.
 
If only for a little while…
