All the Wolves Are Coming to Dinner 

 

All the wolves are coming to dinner

They harmonize in chorus

As the moon hovers and reflects off the quiet waters

Distant howls, the beggars’ serenades

I am the crumbs from their master’s table

A hearty feast for his sons and his daughters

 

All the wolves are coming to dinner

Bright eyes fall all upon me

They gather, a family of exquisite beasts

Saliva dripping, hitting dry, crisp leaves

A symphony of taps, such discordant beats

As they sniff the air, fragrant with this feast

 

All the wolves are coming to dinner

Coming and they have come

To dine upon these fleshy bones of mine

Torn, exposed, how quickly they devour

Time has no mercy in seconds passing

While creatures stumble drunk with blood wine
