loup rouge

you bit off tails
& ate my trail crumbs,
chased me down corridors,
up endless stairs,
cornered me at the crucible
where i learned to defend,
bracingly.

    This red wolf frightens, save for the upturn at "bracingly."

    That's a turn up for the books. A good defense can be better than a random offensive after all.

    A red, a dangerous hunter trailing its prey! Tense!
