I am a broken wolf.
I have lost all of my teeth.
My fur is all too thin,
and my eyes cannot see.
I am a broken wolf,
yet I howl in the night.
I am a broken wolf,
yet my mouth always smiles.
You might have seen
my paws prints in the snow.
They are fragile and weak,
but they are a wolf’s paws.
I am a broken wolf,
a wolf whose head is bent.
I know that I am broken.
I show it with all respect.
I am a broken wolf,
yet I hunt every night.
I am a broken wolf,
yet my paws can get your eyes.
Though I have no more teeth,
I eat all of my grief.
Though my fur is all too thin,
I never shake in the wind.
In a cold winters night,
you see my shining blind eyes,
glancing up to the sky,
and my paws make me rise.
