Verse: downpour

(apologies for going back to the well so often, but the muses requested this...)

sensing
the day
is vulnerable

the wolves
are gathering
now

faint tracks
in pale blue
ripples

skulking
and sneaking
they seize the sky

tear it
with their
fierce teeth

and more
again
until

the sky
is obscured
by thick grey fur

and as
they howl
with hunger

saliva
hanging from their
clacking jaws

finds
its reflection
below

and dives, in torrents
for the only love
it has ever known

it's going to be
a beautiful night.
