maybe because i’m a lone wolf
is the reason i like real wolves
and fictional werewolves
maybe we’re like common kin
in some magical mystical way
if reincarnation is factual
maybe I ran with a wolf pack
in one of my transmigrational times
or since I have an empathy for
native americans and have been
to powwows many times
maybe in a former life I was
a native american and the wolf
was my family’s totem
concerning former lives and wolves
one thing i am certain of
i was never a werewolf
