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.
