The moon is silver,
reprieve from the golden sun,
the snow is heavy.

Wolf moon bites back with
playful teeth, January
night, silent and still.

In her smoke-ticked fur
dreams stand solitary as
burrs — stuck, protected.

Mother wolf, winter
Eve — prowling about the
glass chill of midnight.

These nights give the bones shiver,
these nights, a long for-ever.
