| The Wolf in the Sky
|
listen
| It shivers, watching soft horns | 1 |
pick at the pale grass grown beneath the vision | 2 |
of the eye, which will rest in a day | 3 |
glazed by her son’s blistering gleam. | 4 |
| |
Her face is as white and | 5 |
round as the dome of a skull, | 6 |
and it shines beneath | 7 |
her shadowy hair. | 8 |
| |
It is full, fat, but it still | 9 |
munches on the cold air | 10 |
that slashes her ghostly eyelid | 11 |
as she pulls herself from her hiding place | 12 |
| |
and exposes her true eye, | 13 |
the white eye, the eye | 14 |
that watches everything, | 15 |
searching for prey. | 16 |

Well, I didn't say much but I keep reading this, finding new lines I like the best. Is the wolf the moon or did I miss the mark here?
— Isabelle5
it's more of an abstract fusion of thinking, whereas the reader decides. it's open. i promise you didn't miss the mark.
thanks.

Fantastic. Recalls some of Ted Hughs's animal poem.Has a real feel of the dark side of nature which humans remain barely aware of.
