woken from slumber
more powerful, urgent
a rider, a beast, inside,
a mammal, or more ancient
a rider awakens
our masters within
deep and abiding
triggering nerve endings
alive within us
usurping power
the snake, the monster
usurping, taking control
woken from slumber
the rider driving
raging within us
deep in our souls
usurping power
driving, driving,
longing for slumber
yet driven by fear
