Wolf Moon

Ancient men
saw wolf packs huddled in snow,
heard their marauding snarls and howls across the tundra,
named the full moon of mid-winter
Wolf Moon

January Moon, Wolf Moon
lathers night with white snow flurries,
with freezing breath chases creatures inside,
tugs and claws at mountain tops,
bear- hugs ocean tides,
at times conjures earthquakes,
tsunamis, savage wind storms,
spreads fury like a wild  mad dog.

Wolf moon,
albino white with canine eyes
risks an avalanche in icy darkness,
howls to the universe,
howls to the lonesome blackness of space,
howls to the remoteness of the stars
