Long Ago Nights

There is a proverb which reads: "Wolves have howled at the moon for centuries, yet it is still there". LONG AGO NIGHTS Does the scintilla sharpen to just a peek when a pack of wolves sound off? The moon retreats. Gray clouds — the baying hue of frozen fur. An eerie glare of a spotless night stirs their lips all the more. Ears like steeples, heads thrown back in ecstasy. Virgins bar their doors. The moon in reverie knows each woeful sound. paws rest — feeding its light...lingering. Lustful companions curl up inside the earth’s abyss. Full moon recollection of those long ago nights. 8/6/2018
