173:
Howling at night
the wolf of my mind
struggled to free itself from these chains
the chains of humanity
snarling and growling
howling at night
trapped, imprisoned in a human jail.
I am the wolf that dares to break free
to proclaim what I am to the world
I am an animal, untamed and unleashed
unfencible, irrepressible, incomprehensible
free from humanity's bonds
that any may look and know what I am
my eyes glinting yellow
howling at night
gazing through beast-eyes.
183:
When stalking my prey
I must make no sound
no twigs snap under my feet
my breath is one with the wind
my slow motions one with the swaying of the leaves
my prey cannot see me
I stand upwind
my prey cannot smell me
I am watching, silent
my prey cannot hear me
I advance as the wind gusts
my prey doesn't know I'm there
no witnesses, no alarm
no calling to its fellows
then I leap into action
swiftly slaying
my prey didn't know what hit him.
835:
Freedom craved
what we shall have
the chain is broken
from the white wolf
its book protecting
golden crown
corona.
Earned and chained
cast away
the black wolf
its sword attacking
second death.
902:
Running werewolf
come dawning and day
in the middle of winter
cross forests and mountains
Werewolf running
faster and faster
over snows and through the blizzard
because of kin dying.
978:
All silent the world seems tonight
where the cold wind bites and the clouds roll by
and the only sounds that pierce the silence
are the crickets in the shadow wood
and the distant call of wolves
whose howling slices deep into my every fear
to live and relive again as I hear
and never wish to hear again.
