Violence at home

domestic:
of or involving the home or family
which is to say that
it is not wild or violent–
what does it mean
to be domestic and wild?
does it mean that
you can only feed
on the ones that you love?
that blood is tastier
when the fist that fetches it
should have been a shield?
what does it take to
not do what you’re
not meant to do?
