The Wolf Within [ Re-visited ]



21918[i]

The Wolf Within, originally published
in Chiselled Anthems way back when, 
was written after a walk 
down the Old Kent.
Take a look around, some things 
truly do not change.


The Wolf Within [ Re-visited ]

Orange medicine cups 
litter this early 
morning park pavementing 
cardboard homes hiding 
in scraggy bushes. 
And shelters, carefully 
built on benches 
are being pulled 
down for the 
day. Plastic sheets 
hang on trees 
drying as the 
mud splattered newly 
drunk sleep in 
the field before 
breakfast.

Scratches jotted on car handles

Scratches jotted on car handles.

' Just the one more time. Every time.'

You walks ahead so you can keep an eye on his back. Even now,
now when yous both been on the outside 6 months.
And yous still wearing trademark greys and parallel pockets
with your newest clasp. 
Like all bad habits, is difficult to break.

We sees your interesting walk straightaway. Looks like yous
both walking at the same pace. But you isn't. Is trick 
you needs to learn. Brings unneeded attention if you 
looks like yous running. 
Which you is really. 

Even so, yous brave. Got to be round this way. 
Thing is, yous both got to try harder to stop being 
this stupid. Although, fair dos, everyone knows two heads 
is better than one. 
So well done there.

Is clear peoples got to break you up if theys going to 
get better deal than you. And thats how it always starts.
Always. Takes three to break two and four to break three 
and so on. Is how wars start.
So; twos easier to deal with. Trust like.

'Knows where you stands with two.'
