Fear is irrational and this poem manages to capture something of this. We cannot truly know something/someone & fear it/them.
Hence fear of the Unknown, Strangers, etc... This, too, the poem does, by defamiliarizing the human & turning them into something bestial and dangerous.
I am the author of 3 published books of poems and would love if you featured my poetry next, here’s a selection :)
