Winged Wolf Storytelling
Fun/Fur for everyone

Cloud Omen

A nod from the divine messenger
The Hermetic psychopomp
Takes form above as
A winged wolf
Lobos

Alone on an autumn dock in a northern lake
I watch a wolf cloud cross the sky in awe

A cloud-white messenger of power and spangled cunning
Receives my dripping tribute

Until suddenly white slips
the wolf cloud is now two wolfclouds
identical yet out of synch

Another wolf appears
chasing hard after its twin

And wide-eyed I see
that one of these winged wolves is Hermes
and one is me

(the cloud showing me at once its upper and lower lines
shifting parallaxes on a lupine spline)

the wind shifts and
the hunt is won in the heavens
the two wolfclouds consume one other

I see stars
