The Wolf (for Ana)

I am the wolf
all blackness inside
all gone wild
you are the lamb
offering innocently radiant smiles
to me
unaware of the dark abysses
your smile is bursting up
tearing me to pieces
creating shadows where I get lost
The exit whizzed by long ago
I knew before what I was getting myself into
but I am afraid
I was not prepared enough for your innocence
all I would like to do now
is to sink my teeth into you
very tenderly
