IN WOLF’S CLOTHING
MAL GRACE
MY OWN WOMANHOOD MAKES ME BLUSH
BECAUSE UNDERNEATH IT ALL
I’M STILL PRIMORDIAL VELVET,
STILL A RELENTLESSLY CHURNING TIDE,
THE DUSK THAT SENDS BATS OUT TO FEED.
I AM THE SILVER SONG OF MOONLIGHT
THAT UNEARTHS WHAT KNOWS ITS TIME HAS COME.
MY FEMININITY WOULD NEVER BOARD A THIEF;
IT USES ALL PARTS OF THE ANIMAL
AND SO I MAKE CROWNS OUT OF BONES.
