I traveled
far
some went
she came
to wish in wells
to disturb the tame
Wolf’s hands fed seeds, my brain
my body
bled.
Her empty nets
seeking pets, somber – miles away
my breath
bore her name
(easy prey).
East coast
records played folk
through incense smoke
Wolf’s fingers
kissed by lips,
lingered
I said not all, but I wandered—lost—
until frost settled and I signed the cross/fed with fodder/rivers of water/still
I wonder
where I was.
