2013 NaPoWriMo Day 16

Of Women and Foxes

You followed me through the woods,
watching me dance and play –
hair of fire flowing in the breeze.

You followed me into the burrow,
trying to tame my wild spirit –
hair and blood seeping into the earth.

You forced me into your home,
chaining me to the wall –
fur of fire lying on the floor.

You forced me to shift my form,
changing into my inner beast –
fur and blood mingling on the trail.
