Caged WolfA Poem by Cylis Derrens
Caged Wolf
In this cage I sit
Watching
Waiting
Tightly packed muscle
ready to spring
You draw close
Finding my fangs are bared
Hearing my growl
Crashing against the cage I gnash
my teeth
Trying to get at you
Starved and angry in this little cage
There is no doubt in my mind
I have you to blame
You took me from my home
You locked me up
The moment I get out
We’ll settle up
I’ll tear you apart
Piece by piece
Safe on the outside you jeer and
taunt
So secure
So arrogant
But there is a surprise in store
The door swings open
It was loose and unlocked
I step out of the cage
You start to back away
With a snarl I bare my fangs
Muscles bunch
Ready to spring
At that moment you know
That I will be the last thing you will
ever see
