Title: Moon sinks

[swirlsofblue]

Moon sinks, come awake,
With bars blurry in mind, still half-man half beast,
An unthinking thing, like waking dream, sleepwalks,
In mind’s eye,
Reach for coherence- fail,
Growl or swear or something in-between,
Teeth too big for mouth.

She shakes off the last vestiges of her transformation,
Aware of her nakedness once more- she clothes

WHOA!! I love this, J! I love the dual nature of it, I love how it replies to the prompt, and I love how it teases several different images in one! Great work!

This is my favorite part:
The beast sits at the root of her skull still,
Scratch-scratching her brain-stem like ghosts,
She wants to scream,

Very evocative writing.

Thank you, so glad you liked that part :)

This is really quite lovely, and your reading of it is fantastic.

I think my favorite bit is: The sun pours warm into the room / She sinks back into herself/ Only an animal in the way humans are
