A Tale of Wolves and Vixens

January 2025

I’m in my room sitting on my carpet floor because I just cleaned my room I’m always cleaning my room because it is always messy and dusty but now it is clean and I’m sitting on the floor and the posters I hung up last week havealready worn off but at least my carpet is clean. The wolf howls. Unsurprisingly; it is night-time. I abide becausethat’s what I’ve been taught to do so like a good little wife I am such a good little wife I go over to him.‘I’ve warmed your honey and frothed your milk,’ the vixen yips. ‘Take off your skin and sleep.’I am but his den. But I can be so much more! I CAN BE SO MUCH MORE! I walk over to the mirror because the meek shall not inherit they shall not inherit! Wait is that my face? That cannot be my face that is not my face! The curtain is cracked and the moon shines through. Tonight, she is still waning. Tomorrow, she will be new. No more, I howl; no more.
