The She Wolf in the Sky

Upon pitted asteroid, it waits and slumbers

Neither dead nor live she wanders

Drifting through an expansive universe

Milky Way, the next system cursed

Celine’s silvery beams perchance to hit

This cosmic beast by star dust bit

Once a woman from an undiscovered world

Reborn in moonglow, slowly unfurled

Rabid hunger, bestial instinct, all she knows

Consumed home and neighbor before darkness froze

With each bite, her mass accumulates

Size, weight ↗The were-beast grows in both accursed states

Now, great paw prints replace whole bustling towns

Swaths of cities have been washed down

Distilling vats barely satiate

The moonshine her rampage, escalate

The Earth, thrown off its sloping axis, cracked and flung

Outweighed, slashed, bitten by talon, fang, and tongue

Floating shewolf, the largest entity, gravity realigned, it shifts

The silver moon, pulled along as awake, she drifts

Metors hit her bulwarked hide like rocky peach pits

Space debris catches her eye, dusty and rusty, so out she spits

Dipping clawed hands, she scoops from Satern's rings

Dripping, she guzzles, like water from a stream

The hunt continues in the argent light of her own satellite

She roams the universe with ravenous appetite

Swallowing worlds whole, gathering moon after moon

Light from every star reflects, until steely hair shines like high noon

This was started for The unofficial werewolf story challenge by Sam Spinelli. I hoped to get to the 500 word mark, but I wasn't about to stretch it when it felt done. Instead I am working on an actual short story. That will just take a little longer.

I first thought of the Shakira song She wolf, I loved it as a teen, and think Shakira is really talented. Unfortunately the song, especially the video, is just a little too sexy to pair with this story. On the other hand the David Guetta song She Wolf featuring SIA, is perfect.
