what to think and when

It is not so
much of what they speak
that matters
but that witch
they do not
speak of

that unspoken ghost
of a presence
that thrives  in
the back alleys
of the unconscious
mind

that entity
of pure animal
instinct
encaged
by the doctrines
of human life

that mad
and malevolent
beast of untamed
spirit
that yearns
to be released
to satisfy
its unnerving
hunger
