Canis Lupus

Vapour’s breath disappears into silent moonlight Past pearl white teeth. Chilled - Air frozen with fear and awe, hush - Branches slow their clapping and bend to listen As paws crunch into an icy clearing. Still - Icicles fall in a symphony of crystal wonder Her eyes a dusty grey, as glass Peer through the sleeping timber wood. A blistery silence breaks - Her aerie howl Lifts into a sparkling midnight sky. A gust of bitter wind blows across the snowy mantle Lifting her haunting call in a spiral of wintry glitter. She slips back into frosty shadows Between pillars of seclusion. No trace - Except a set of prints.
