--------------------

To catch a wolf
become the wolf
where tracks lead distant
to trails beyond

His nose on fire
and fangs bare fronted
to follow closely
all fear withdrawn

He marks each turning
with blood ill letted
to lure the hunter
on death’s foray

This sojourn ends
in wooded darkness
to enter once
— your fate to prey
