9. Chased by Wolves
Chased by Wolves
Run
My mother wrapped me
up against her body.
Run
A loud roar and a thud
at our doors.
Run
Barefoot, my mother
rushed to the window.
Run
Just as we heard the doors
thunderously crash down.
Run
And as my mother leapt
from the window
Run
our home turned to rubble
under thudding feet behind us.
Run
When I opened my eyes
I saw what was chasing us.
Run
It was not wolves.
It was two men.
No.
Two hungry Gods.
