Bite - 04.15.2026

I would like to present a poem meant to encapsulate both the theme of my blog as well as the idea behind the blog — that being the idea of dogs, wolves, and the struggles of trauma-born responses that draw those that are familiar to the prior mentioned canine themes.

The poem is based on repetition with descriptors interspliced between to create a sense of rapid movement or desperation; it's meant to build up from aggression to fear in a rapid succession inspired by "Boots" by Rudyard Kipling.


Bite

Bite

   The woods

Bite

   Are warm

Bite

   Are warm tonight

            Tonight

Bite

   The hunt

Bite

   I run

Bite

   We run tonight

            Tonight

Bite

   I hear

Bite

   The sound

Bite

   The sound

        The sound

              The sound

Bite

   It follows

Bite

   It listens

Bite

   It comes

           After

               After

Bite

   We run

Bite

   We hide

Bite

   It hunts

      It hunts

          It hunts

Bite.
