On night’s like this the blood calls
with an ache that pulls from the
marrow of my bones.
The moon impels my limbs to move,
to run, to seek, to rend, to rip.
to HOWL.
So, I sit in the dark of this room.
Chains binding my arms and legs.
That moon staring at me
through a single window;
taunting me and tempting me.
Freedom is here, it says,
Just let go and come play.
I feel the change coming.
I will not fight it off.
The chains will hold.
The chains will hold.
The chains…
Beautiful from a fellow moon worshiper, hears to the clanking of chains hitting the floor.

Such powerful imagery. And I love the closing, her refusal to let her circumstances to rule her behavior. Yum!

I can feel the protagonist straining to pull against their chains. Those last few lines…I can hear the chains snapping. Really nice.
