burning honey
burning up in my wolf-shirt
sweaty with nerve energy
sweating for you and you alone
i am hungry like the wolf
my eyes red with love-greed
i want to devour the sweetness of you
i want to drink you all down
like happy sugared medicine
hungry little wolf
cherry red riding hood
i'm no grandmother in sheep's clothing
just let me taste your strawberry lips
before the woodcutter chops me down
