on the path divided
i walked with a wolf
silent
both of us
alone together
separated by the lives of trees
i saw the end
a wild canyon
split by a rumbling river
here i stopped
here i sat
here i contemplated
the roads of my life
here the wolf stood
a soldier of his kind
connected to me
with our very breath
with our very aliveness
i have never forgotten him
the one who lives
only in my dream
i hope he finds me again
on this broken path
that holds
the etchings of my blood
