HOWLY NIGHT
bristeling the coat
like brushes bristles listen into the wide night
outa it came that free 'n' brutal howl
along the clags from behind the wood it rose
that sudden answer, nearby, made feel it's cold
wriggled in fear the dog began to bay
that is the wolves
the master says n loosin' his creature
enticin' outa the hut n into the house
between fire n bed waggin' n rollin'
master says be on your guard
bare its teeth and knew the truth
thousands of years it feed on what they sow
do the way people say
hates all he was 8 thousand years ago
for their smell of freedom for the good view at the moon
and for buddy "d**h" is always on your side
it's bayin' n barkin' 'til masters cane taught: pain
with a whimper yeah licking on that stain
of blood of his own took itself to the door
lying there and going to sleep full up and dull
and out thru that snow, wood n clags racin' life and howl
