At the Zoo


back when i didn't select my own wardrobe,


my father took me to the zoo, mostly to show me how


miserable the world can be.


a she- wolf traced infinity in the miserable dust


inside her pathetic enclosure.


i wonder if she was waiting for someone to call.


or trying to convince herself that anything


worth longing for ( the hunt. fresh smell of snow, distant


smell of musk or smell of condensed air outside


the panting mouth of a certain gray he-wolf whose tail,


she remembered, always swung slightly further


left than right. ) never existed.
