Dreamwolf

Matt Dennison is the author of Kind Surgery, from Urtica Press (Fr.) and Waiting for Better, from Main Street Rag Press. "Dreamwolf" is in Short Circuit #09, Short Édition's quarterly review.

Dare we invite the dreamwolf in,
to jump through our chaste window,
carry us over the midnight snow
under a far moon?

Dare we—at this stage in the old game—dare
to feel the galloping charge
of hot breath, rough hair?

Outside our window the dreamwolf passes,
hungry, unconcerned with us.
