Lycanthropus

By C. EDGAR BOLEN

  The jellied night has oozed its miry black
    From out the hills to fill the valley floor.
  Atop the ragged hills the torn cloud-wrack
    Is lightning-limned into a hellish door.
      A gust of wind across the sky is hurled—
      The gods of old are loosed upon the world.

  Age-old, the blood-lust wells within my throat;
    Tensely I wait, and feel my body shrink;
  My hairless hide becomes a furry coat.
    Blood-hungry, through the opened door I slink;
      I raise my head and howl in horrid glee—
      And from the plain a howl comes back to me.
