Waiting for her wolf


pen me a memory
of a gypsy wolf

dark golden fur
streaking across forest

thick of bird cries
piercing marsh-waisted oak trees

set her pulse
beating madly as red moon climbs

& rides the sky
hard, there's no holding back

hunger in eyes nor claws
aching for hard flesh & raw blood

spill on white pages
her ravishment of night, musky & salty

split her thighs
into hundred aching valleys, thrilling

to chase & mayhem,   
storm of release & splendor of

rending boundaries apart
they are hers alone to mark & own

or lose
to the one true love who always set her free

frame by frame
capture this moment, poignant as last kiss

she is my kindred spirit
caught in glass cage, wintered by

  1. wow... tight images in this... love the passion.... the taking ownership and allowing the other to cross those borders or not... what i loved most is that true love always sets free... that's the magic even in our having to give up things for it... and i do hope you don't lose that voice...

  14. Full of hunger, passion and security (in the one true love that sets here free). You still got it ;) Love that image of Joel's too.

  15. A primeval poetic, where the form catapults us from stanza to stanza; like the inner child, the inner wilding, the madness has to survive to fuel our creativity, our passion, our capacity for enduring joy or pain. Loved the lines /aching for hard flesh & raw blood/spills on white pages/. Makes me want to write something immediately.

  18. This is so passionate and lustful. A really good read and the pacing was good. I especially liked:

    spill on white pages
    her ravishment of night, musky & salty

    split her thighs
    into hundred aching valleys, thrilling

    Wow. Very nice.

  23. I really like what you did with the visual at the end. How beautiful. Also, the description "gypsy wolf" and this:

    "she is my kindred spirit
    caught in glass cage, wintered by"

    I really love "wintered by." Gorgeous, and so sad.
