 FROM SELF IS WOLF:

 

to choose gender wolf

and sex wolf both

lightly burnt and live electric

fur is upright flexing grass

 

to identify as packless wolf—

wulf a pronoun and a name—

 

wolf tooth wolf paw

both waiting wulf baying

at miles of distance a claw pressing

deeper into mud a message when

the curse is broken the word is read

skinning imminent still wulf waits
