The wolf and the watchman

 


Vultures circling,

sensing the heart

that has broken free

in sweet release

from its bodily captivity.

The heart that now

beats incessantly.

The wolf runs on worn feet,

place to place.

Never finding home,

just born to roam.

His work is not yet done.

 

He hears the universal song.

A sound only audible to him,

for most are deafened

by the soul dulling hum.

He hears the moon singing her hymn.

Keep going, you are needed.

Don't bleed out. Don't fear,

your story doesn't end here.

The wolf barks a reply

and strides faster into the night.

 

In this late hour, the tree blanket

feels like an evil tower,

blocking out the light,

but his eyes still see,

He still senses the beings

creeping through these

concrete trees.

The dirt under his feet,

solid, not that usual mushy

feeling between his paws.

The smells, the scents, too intense.

Evil lurks somewhere near these wild moors.

His fur stands on end.

 

His eyes dart left to right,

knowing the tracks have led him

deep into the city of night.

He is here. Somewhere deprived.

Somewhere in this place.

The wolf senses the smell in the air.

Old tattered wool fibres,

he can discern the scent

of the wooden tool of sound

he hears playing underneath

the screams and stomping of

the unearthly demons running out.

He is here,

of that there is no doubt.

The wolf looks to the moon,

a silhouette man

brimmed hat

and long worn coat,

stands haloed by the bright light.
