The wolf
This gay/political poem of mine was recently published by Spillwords, an online lit journal. https://spillwords.com/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.
