"by the beast in man"

By T. Imaan Tretchicovmanicova

open a thousand doors
within silver pools
is but one twinned girl
veiled, closed.
she writhes and turns
body screams as
the garments of tradition
are slashed. from mooned
shadow, a cry fills
the perimeter of wolves
awakened to the primal
by the beast in man.
