I am the Wolf

I am the wolf Without a pack, Banished so long ago. I've survived on another's kill And on my shadow bone. All I've learned is that poison will sting. No one remembers the names of martyrs or Kings. No one remembers much of anything That came this way before. I am the wolf Combing the beach, Too hungry to shy away. The carcass of a leviathan Sways gently on the waves. I hope this shelter Is enough to keep me warm. Upstairs, the heavens give birth to winter's storm. But I've been dying since the day I was Born. That much I know is True. I am the wolf, High, wild, and free. A picture on a shelf. I burn this house down to the ashes Alone to myself. All I've learned is that poison will sting. No one remembers the names of martyrs or kings. No one remembers much of anything That came this way before. That came this way before. All I've learned is that poison will sting. No one remembers the names of martyrs or Kings. No one remembers much of Anything that came this way Before. That came this way before.
