Collins Response

a poem is a wild animal
with fangs that puncture
a snarl that paralyzes the soul
 

stalking a vulnerable victim
hypnotizing eyes
luring you closer
until
a slash through a broken heart
a gash across tender memory

his hunger swells
as you run from him

fight the poem
do not let others convince you
to cower
for a poem is a dangerous beast
observe its kinetics
tame it
