AS WOLVES ARE SQUEEZED IN
DWINDLING WILDERNESS THE
WEREWOLF AGE GAINS
HORRIBLE MOMENTUM
in memory of Vasko Popa
(1922-1991)


For wolves who, like us, are caressed
by the ocean before they are born,
to live is all threat and hunger and flight
and reduction.
They don't expect
to know what is happening, don't
require explanations from demonic
fractals of consciousness, just know
that the world is shrinkingly
full of danger and guns
and hatred and traps.

Thus wolves know everything.
