He has a poisonous heart.
Eyes so thin, and filled with anger.
Nails as sharp as a thorn, and covered in blood.
Fur very cold and sharp as the leaves of a pine tree.
Teeth filled with saliva and like the teeth of a shark.
He ranges through the woods.
And at night, he shines his eyes like flashlights.
He is death to all animals.
He is an animal who lives in the shades of grey.
He is an entity of murderous thoughts.
I can place him somewhere.
And that is, he is the murderer walking past the road, with handcuffs, and with two cops by his side.
(Meaning = a murderer is personified to a wolf.)
