Any time I saw the Sun,
I thought of my Master.
The luminous glows
Took me back to a time
When He bathed me, fed me,
And let me drink from a new fountain.
But then came the sunset.
The wailing in darkness,
Gnashing of teeth and bones—
The fury of bloodlust
Scorching
My last remnants of reason.
And then I was alone—
Another wolf guilty
Of fitting the family tree.
Now I stand at the threshold—
With a warm hand,
The Sun paves the way,
Yet I stay with the pack.
I choose the wolf.
After all, it’s what I am—
And what I’m supposed to be.
