#another little ditty about one of my blorbos teehee <3

the collar and leash
ties me to you
because you insist that blood never could
orphaned war hound puppy on the side of the road
father’s eyes
mother’s teeth
makes some sort of savage out of me
with a mouth full of blood
they pin me the monster
and knowing nothing else
i tell them they’re right
hands over my mouth
loose fangs in their palms
poise nicely
sit pretty
legs crossed and hands folded
take the food gently like a good little beast
for i am a dangerous thing
or so i’ve spent my life being told
- and who can trust the words
that roll off the tongue of a creature
so i nod and say the same -
so i must be tame and go only where i’m lead
and keep my head down
as there’s little difference between
smiling and baring my teeth
— the nature of predators
