zoe, 20, nyc --
i want to keep smashing myself until i am whole
"But now I need so much patience, patience and thought, and things will be very difficult.”

werewolf—

there are many words for transformation / metamorphosis
metaphor / medication / go to sleep / beside the man you love
& wake up next to a dog / maybe the moon brought it out of him
hound hungry for blood / maybe it’s your fault / or maybe
it was there inside him / howling all along

— Sam Sax, from “Bestiary,” A Guide to Undressing Your Monsters
