Around in My Head

by Holly Day

dream in kaleidoscopic bits,
so hot, unfurls into something I know

what you want, man-child, wolf
almost burning--rip me up, make me know
clutched in its beak, I

love for fractions of seconds, wrap me in sick sweat, wolf
folded wolf

soft flesh beside me,
baby bird above me, wolf
touch the white skeleton man, push it up, I know

this creature, put it in my head, through my head,
take this burning I.
