The wolf

The wolf


"I know there’s something better down the road."  

Praise Song for the Day, Elizabeth Alexander



I saw a wolf pass by. 

His eyes left tracks all over my body.

Stealthy and hungry he walked 

through the city confident 

about the future. Now that the shutters 

are down, a wolf waits 

to devour my ballot. When I try 

to quiet my fear he jumps 

at my words, a memory rips out 

a howl that devours us both.
