To Be A Wolf

The Change is difficult.
Man's limbs changing to canine.
Yet a part of me seems free
Somehow equally at home
As wolf or man.

The wolf must be within me,
Craving the freedom I lack.
Free to run wild
To taste the air on my tongue
To feel the wind in my fur.

The Stag is gone now,
The Rat proved to be just that.
I have only one friend left
To explore the wilds with
And he is Hunted.
