Drei Frauen und Drei Wölfe (1892) By Eugène Samuel Grasset (1845–1917) Public Domain https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=11794315

Under a darkling moon,
we stand in silence, three women
with hands interlaced, fingers tangling
like the twist of oak branches
above our heads, like the labyrinth
of shadows beneath our feet
