Lupine intensity, eyes full of fire,
Transfixed prey, on the prowl,
Keen self-absorption
On quarry to kill,
Predator may later howl
For hunting alone, apart from the pack,
Though separate in each identity,
Risks hunter becoming
Game for another,
No one alone is certified entity.
Outlaw to nature and natural ways,
Outcast from familial brood,
Danger and fear,
Paranoia instilled,
Bloodline means that you should
Be part of the pack, still standing alone
On hill, eyes fixed on the moon,
Remembering self,
But existing with all,
Such bay is much more in tune
With natural law and affinity,
Antecedents denying the need
To hunt all alone
Nor bite where you’re loved,
Nor sever the hand that helps feed.
