A wolf once elegized 
a lighthouse, in stream of consciousness
script - more semicolons in it
than periods, less
prose
than parentheses. And yet, 
it was the art in it that gave it magic -
its color and its impressionism -
a story of such delicate 
detail; a biography, in spirit, that
went out of its way
to blur dialogue
with thought, time
with experience and its memory
with dreams. 
.
.
I wouldn't know, 
but I suspect
when it was published, to much
exaggerated chagrin, most
of the herd 
had been outraged, to see that 
a wolf had wrote it - no bones
in its cavern, no mange 
in its skin - and, to add
insult to injury, that 
many of their little fauns
had been howling, pretend, or
that in their spare time
had exchanged antlers
for pens.
