the woodsman returned home
with the wolf
tossed over his shoulder,
smiling grimly
through a haze of blood -
the sun in the fairytale forest
buzzed through the trees
like an alarm,
a warning.
the heroes, the sidekicks,
the kings, heroines,
& all their animal friends
crept warily
out of their warrens -
spite lolling in their eyes
like a growing glaucoma -
what now, villain!
- their boisterous cry,
come back the echo -
what villain, now?
