werewolf ladies

turned inside out

hairy and clotty

blackheads

on their bones

saliva

on their organs

I don't fear

them

but there are other

ladies

with even voices

scarves in place

bones aligned

and half smiles

they police

prisons

and schools

work

and pray places.

they've been

dark

queens to kings

snow white knows.

god help us

(This is about ladies in the real world that scare us all: the ones with tight hair and aligned joints - the controllers. I wrote this after reading Margaret Atwood's poems on female werewolves in 'Thriller Suite'.)
