the monster showed her claws
you laughed
10 years ago she would have been mad
today she knows how to smell fear
you were lucky
today the monster was not hungry
she chose to pray to the wind, first
a dance to the moon
occupied the last hour of that encounter
you returned to yourself almost intact
all that stayed with you was that mark
a small scar
that only caring souls can see
a reminder that once you loved
