WD 214 “Change My Skin”

A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth.

Change My Skin

I came to a realization

At the peak of one lunar mountain

The things that changed me were also changed. 

Coins in my pocket, jingling with oils and skin cells 

Passed between traders and betrayers alike 

Silver in the shaft like Judas hunting werewolves

Let’s get radical tonight 

Fanged and ferocious 

Like quintessential magnums

Barrel to barrel until

Bullet kisses bullet tip

And I’m approximately half dead.
