Sister Wolf





Mother moon heightens that sense

of accuracy in these troubled times

Nostrils flaring from the blood dots uprooted

from my fingertips

How many trees will I have to kill and kiss before

river meets canal

Or the other way around



There is a loss of

of of (a slurring stuttering a plundering of words!)

of what?

The brain stem has licked it and forgotten it

A taste much like the dream I built out of clouds



And what of the great prowling?

I have spent my life's work on the searching searching searching

And now I have earned the right to give you my reasoning

I will live on through these things forever

Through my children, and my children's children

My iris and pupil and my awakening star-song will

anchor my legacy right into the advantaged ground



And I will live on

through sister wolf and mother moon

until God finially comes down for the massive uprooting of

these things undone

ANALYZE

I usually dont ANAYLZYE other works, but this I feel obligated to.

You crave intimacy...with someone...from someone and you feel like you've had that once, but you lost it and are now desperately seeking it. But your search is not sad, it's hopeful in the end and it's how I will remember you most.

Your sense of who you are is strong and bold...so once again, kudos to you for this.
