WOLF CRIES —

no one came to save her

but it wasn't the first time
she made threats

she was likable 

and persuasive
even talked me

off a ledge once

made me supper

at her place

but

no one came to save her
and she asked forgiveness

from God in her last words

i keep seeing her 

at the edge of the dock 

howling and wailing

waiting for someone 

to show up and 

help her fight

in the end though

no one came to save her
but three-hundred people 

cried at her wake

sang amazing grace

myself among them
