I am a lone wolf.
I hunt in the wilds
of the city.
Always watching.
Always seeking.
But alone.
I travel without a mate
I sleep alone.
Take care of myself.
Share nothing.
Answer to nobody.
Silence is my companion.
But there are cold winter nights.
When I howl at the full moon.
It’s fading glow blooms
on the frost filled air.
The coldness of it
touches my heart.
I use my sensitive nose
To seek the fragrance
of a single companion.
To last me a lifetime
and release me from
my solitary prison.
