Maria who used to be a wolf
Maria who used to be a wolf.
once while camping in the snow
Maria crawled into a cave and was an animal
she painted herself onto the walls
every night in the dim fire light
she would dance in the shadows
hair a different colour

(last moon when the snow slept

clearing a space
I am clearing a space—
Here, where the trees stand back.
I am making a circle so open
The moon will fall in love
And stroke these grasses with her silver.—Morgan Farley
