an owl that watches you sleep
bat ears, they detect your lies
cat eyes that see right through you
the hyena laugh is her anger's guise
irked, she howls akin to a wolf
getting under your skin like a tapeworm
she's a leech feeding on your blood
permanent like an unclean hand's germ
a barking dog that barricades the door
a lion inked on her shoulder blade
she did soften to become your goat
but beware! even her toe rings are rattlesnakes
to keep you living
an animal was because;
to keep you from leaving
an animal she was
