The Wolf

The Wolf

written by: Sergio A. Ortiz

 

“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 guzzle my ballot. When I try
to quiet my fear he jumps
at my words, a memory rips out
a howl that devours us both.
