from the broken window on december midnight 
the sun was leaking into the streets
of hand-me-down-avenue, house number fourteen 
missy and the wolf danced a waltz 
her wedding dress from when she was nineteen 
her lips the color of blood, his eyes black as the smoke 
from the burning house on december midnight 
wolf screams woke the civilian streets 

what a shame, the people said 
the wolf was such a good man 
what a shame, the neighbours wept 
if only she had not gone mad. 
what a waste, the mailman said 
I could've saved myself a trip
what a waste, the wolves wept
what a waste of good fucking tits. 


there once was a woman who killed a wolf.Where stories live. Discover now
