Lupus

The Lupus Wolf, feared animal in folktales, is back in north Europe it was eradicated, or so we thought, but they have been observed in woodlands wiser than before, they don’t like sheep and rabbits avoid humans and dislike dogs. prefer deer though, and wild boars. As historians tell us never did wolves kill man. But you can’t beat the power of fairytales, they eat little children and prowling cats. If this goes on hunters say there will be no wild animals For us to kill, get rid of them “grey foot” is our enemy. And dark tales fill the papers, a wolf has been observed near a kindergarten, spots of lamb blood in the snow. Wolves are always seen in the mist just like in folklores Let’s kill them now before it is too late our children get eaten by those shadowy four legged, satanic monsters. A question remains though, why don’t wolves like sheep?

You are so wry. I returned from Holland/Belgium and the only thoughts there of predation were mostly of WWII and then again the daily news. I kept my eyes on the tulips. It's good to read your poems again. love Kathy
