Moonshine

Th moon rises,

full and bright.

I feel fully awake,

with nothing covering my eyes.

Moonlight shines over the ground.

I see my prey sleeping.

A baby deer, still covered with spots,

is my prey tonight.

I hide in the shadow of

an old oak tree.

The baby deer sleeps on,

her mother besid her.

I watch,

my preditor eyes watching her

breathe, her ear twitches,

and finally her eyes open.

I smell her fear,

she knows she's being watched.

She get's up on shakey legs,

searching for me.

I smile, my teeth gleaming,

she backs away, still looking.

I stay in the shadows,

letting a growl escape.

She starts running,

I do love the chase.

I run after her,

smelling her fear.

She falls, breaking her leg.

I smile and circle her.

She cries out,

I smile and growl.

She sees me finally.

Her eyes widen.

I pounce.

I snap her neck and she's dead.

I feast until

the moon sets.

I find shelter and sleep

until the moon rises.

Then it starts again.
