Sometimes in a wolf's body Poem by Erik Spinoy

Sometimes in a wolf's body

Rating: 5.0


Sometimes in a wolf's body

a blind machine runs
that repeats and
bangs and bangs

a maddened hammer
a heart ventricle
a nervous tick
a metronome

that pounds
until the itch has gone

till it's no longer nice
but doesn't hurt no more.

Translation: 2010, Gregory Ball
