Wolf Man's Journey (new poem)

 

wolf man's journey

by Tim Kavi

there is something

inside me

I am not proud of

dark as black coal

burning in the furnace

the smoke of it

pollutes my world

where the Sun is darkened

the night crawls

like a snake

every fortnight

while the lunacy looms

under the light

of distant moons

I see him

whom I hate

in my folly

I have become

one seeking redemption

a wolf man's journey

thank Goddess

the dawn is coming

and Your love is mercy

and compassion

and your many arms, bodhisattva

are all forgiving.
