Animal Crown

Wayfarer


The skin cloaked savage, a corpse adorned
Animal crown, king of the badlands
Flint and powder, tooth and claw
Beasts on beasts back and death the law
The packs encircling its sister flesh
Animal crown drifts from corpse to corpse
Leaders and lords, tribes and packs
The soil swallows crowned and crippled the same
