Ah, I see you
are as ancient
as me, Wolf.
I have been sitting
on this bench
for the longest
time in barrenness
and fog. Do you
come to me out of
loneliness, in need
of warmth from another?

I am a freelance poet, born and bred in Brooklyn, New York. I live with my husband, John, and two charming rescue dogs–Marion Miller and Murphy. We spent eight lovely years in Portland, OR, but are now back in New York.
My goal is to create and share poetry with others
who write, or simply enjoy reading poetry. I hope to touch a nerve
in you, and feel your sparks as well.
I love this, Sara. Love the idea of the wolf coming to her out of loneliness. Sometimes kindred spirits find each other.

Old folk, most, are in need of warmth. I’m the reverse, I run warm and am a ‘warmer’.
When we talk of older folk in need of warmth, I think of King David.

I am now picturing the wolf sitting on the bench, leaning against her shoulder or curled at her hip. Such as a wonderful coziness from that prompt. 🙂

The universal need for warmth, for nurturing, your poem tells us so.

I love it that you make them seeking comfort from one another, rather than being enemies.
