Beads
Horns
Knives
Fur
Claws

Knives visible through terror and despair
Must scare those off
Show I am king
Wrinkles of anger
Claws fierce
Blood drip
Goodbye enemy
I win
I bare my teeth from dignity
Pity blares
Yet
Anger fury
Not a wise man
But a true thief

Minimal fight
Brave of strength
Lost words
Time dissolved in waste
Sitting not stand
Run not walk
Pain in head
I fall
I bare my teeth at the man who walk
Beads closed
Hand on chest
He reached for me
I bare my teeth at the bullet in my head
Goodbye enemy
You have won
