Shadows

Walking on a trodden path,
I see a shadow
on
the
ground
it moves as I move,
and I look to the right...
a wolf.
Molten eyes stare into
mine,
and I realize my mistake
as the moon catches my eye.
Thorns,leaves,trees,
Snarling reaches my ears.
A pain in my ankle
a mouthful on dirt
And then..
sunlight through my window
and a shadow
on
the
floor
