Of Demons and Wolves

Far above the ice and Snow An Eagle circles waters blue Wolves are silent as they run While talons grasp a Salmon's scaly skin. The twilight Shadow; wolf growling heard. Prey is scarce, the earth is hard. The meadow. The brook. In Forest realm. A glint on Snow forms stories old. The hunt; circling. The Stag now knows. With hunger pangs and snapping maws; The chase. The turn. The leap to throat. . . Red eyes in twilight as the wolves do feast! The moon is high where the wolves have stopped. An Owl swoops down to then next perch. Exchanges, leanings, teaching what? A wolf starts howling in the cold Moonlight.
