What Would Wolves Do?

We huffed the sky

Into our mouths,

We saw the ocean

And drank it down.

Because we were giants

Or maybe birds,

We slept with lions,

Tucked into their fur.

The world may seem cruel,

The worldly may hate us.

In time we will show the world why the world made us.

Slip into epiphanies.

Oversee oversights.

A good stumble's a symphony,

A good drift takes drive.

Quartz doesn't burn,

Rust doesn't hum,

Maybe we should blame it on the structures of the sun.

Every machine

We've made must bow

To what the wolf and cub have found.
