She Sees Only Teeth

I step out onto the green
Grass of the backyard
And she sees me
And our eyes meet

I step out, out of the stone house
Out of the back door
And she's startled
As two worlds meet

And I am predator
And she is prey
And I know she's got to run away
To keep herself alive

Coz as I lift my lips and smile
She sees only teeth
