howl
a lone wolf bustles through the trees
he is distraught
with anger and pain he howls
tonight is not the night for compassion
games must wait
happy must be put on a stall
his pack hopes he will come back
they love him after all
he is hurting his family by leaving
but he knows better than to go back
they growl at him
they snarl and howl
he just walks on by
with a snap of his jaws
and a swish of his claws
he hates to leave
but he'll hurt them more if he stays
...so...
the lone wolf walks
a distant howl is heard
it's not the last of this single wolf
but the story ends for now
