Wolf Cycle

 The dark sky sparkles with

Dots of brilliance.

Waiting for the waxing sphere.

Safe.

The fingernail moon,

The moons in your fingernails.

A crescent shining

Anticipation.

Half circle shining down

Illuminate the night with

Gibbous light swelling

Anxious.

The finality of the

Twenty-eighth day

A lone, full howl.

Fearless.

Dark sky, sparkling stars

A waxing moon soon is full

Melancholy howl
