Steven F. Klepetar

I Am the Walrus, I am the Werewolf, Coo-Coo-Ca-Choo


Sometimes, after a good night of sex

or the way a patch of sun strikes

his furry back or just the right, mysterious

cocktail of serotonin and alpha waves 

the blood still sings in his werewolf veins.


And so he bounds against limits

of the world, leaping with crazy joy

rising in his throat like a furious tide,

hurricane strong, irrational exuberance

with the market down, jobs scarce


and politicians tasting worse than usual.

Times like these he rises in the night,

beats his chest.  Crickets hum along roadside

grass, bats outlined against a flashbulb moon. 

Werewolf surfing on the long curl of night.
