Howlin’

I am wolf soul
Not to be tamed dog
My fur is not for petting
Don’t try and leash my neck

Wild beast
Taller than words
Stronger than laws
I’ll growl you into fear
Through nature’s sharpest teeth

This body knows
To outrun you
Chasing the scent
Your weak mind
Leaves behind

I am wolf soul
In these woods
I am life
Not prey to be hunted
Not a number to go down
Don’t come looking for my kind
You’ll end up
Being found.
