Analysis of The Wolf Unleashed
I don’t have to slay the dark,
my verse, the wolf unleashed
I don’t have to court the devil,
my words a sword unsheathed
I can live beneath the sun,
with days both clear and bright
Or sleep beneath the crescent moon,
—my poetry to fight
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)
