The Wolf’s Bed

Torn palms

Hollowed chest

Dawn halo

Shadowed breast

 

Fern brush

Wet fur

Silver light

Fireflies stir

 

Aching heart of cobwebs

Ragged claws

Silt ebbs

 

Needles spin

Silken gauze

Earth mouths

A human form

 

Coarse pelt

A promise shed

As whispers line

The wolf’s bed
