Wolves
I’m reading a book about wolves that never
actually discusses the animals but instead
delves into twigs and paths, bloody
entrails, livestock, and frightened families
and while I’m reading, a cloud of mosquitoes
hovers but doesn’t bite; a crow lands in the grass
and yells at me to wake up, as though I’d been sleeping
while a phone starts ringing in the distance, but I don’t
want to get up to answer, since this wolf-book
seems to be growing warm in my lap
like a plate of glowing coals I must carry through the night
to my comrades, so they will have fire.
