The poem “Wolf at the Window” was inspired by a cartoon that spoke of avoiding the wolf, that it takes luck to achieve this on a daily basis, and how the wolf only needs to succeed once.

Listen to poem:

The wolf at the window is held at bay waiting with patience at our dismay knowing that all must walk among forest paths beyond the vale safety breached to attain something more than the disdain of the fools that wish for more than memories now deplored the haunts exist by aftermath in the forest where killers bay knowing windows lead to doors allowing all to damn their souls it takes one chance for the claws to take the flesh from safety’s arms before the window is declined what lays beyond will have its time.
