Wolf Heart
by
Amethyst

what can be said of the wolf's cry?

it is the wail of a heart
that suddenly knows
the meaning of "gone"

it is the breathless step
beyond the world into silver
and the recognition
that silver has held you
forever in your dreams

what can be said of the wolf's song?

it is the long call of starlight
through an open door

it is the moment
an orphaned soul
learns of relatives
in the world
