The Wolf

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.
