cornered beast & i am needlefangs
i am snarled i am spitting
i am coiled like wire i am ready to attack
not patientwaiting not sleepslumbering
i am eyes glowing green&hot i am torn flesh
don't you dare turn your back
whipcrack necksnap flashback teethsmashed
i am tendons to point of breaking 
i am claws i am adrenalin i am a bushfire 
i am after you i am ready to defend myself
i am screeching i am dusky terror 
i am nobody's dog.
