Marrow

by Jack Kingston ’24

Monstrous canines lacerate those unfortunate enough
Around the depths of the wilderness to have survived the winter.
Ripping apart those fauna without their desired defenses,
Ravenous wolves succulently lick their maws, decadently devouring.
Over the defeated corpses of herbivorous prey, the barons of the forest
Without hesitation hunt mercilessly, never giving warning or respite.
