by Ray Iyer
Make me howl
like a werewolf
on this full moon night.
Use your tongue
on my contours
as a paintbrush.
Dip it in the coffee
you never drank
and color me brown.
There are secrets hidden
in corners I have left
for you to find.
Use all your force
intuition and weapons
as you tear me apart.
Tonight is the night
I will die a human
or come alive as an animal.
