When Boys Become Werewolves

for marina

When boys become werewolves

they come back stronger,

to suffer

after the very soft life

can run.  Harvest, here.  And tell me, how

and let the lunar lie. Rustle here. Lie to me.

One moon. Four stars. Two girls. One car. One wish. One moon. Four Stars. Two girls. One car. One wish. One moon. Four Stars. Two girls. One car. One moon. Four Stars. Two girls. One car…
