the wolf with the yellow eyes

This was written by a 17 year old girl while staring out the window at a private Boston psychiatric hospital.  She saw/imagined/hallucinated this wolf while in a dark place

 

the wolf with the yellow eyes

always staring

and I stare back

unable to lose his eyes

the wolf with the yellow eyes

always waiting

and I wait too                                                     

like an animal’s prey

with no one to turn to

but myself

the wolf with the yellow eyes

always appearing at night

from an unknown place

to watch me

with those sparking yellow eyes

just waiting

for the right time

to strike

that time may be now

but,

we will continue

to wait

until

the wolf with the yellow eyes

says

it is time
