The wolf opens his mouth and breathes in
He breathes in mice, and strawberries, and tiny glass angels but it is not enough
He breathes in trees and chairs and ladies' shoes but it is not enough
He breathes in houses and mountains and elephants
He breathes in dinosaur bones
If anything, he is even hungrier than he was before
The wolf takes a deep breath and breathes in the World
He stands on empty space, looking for more
Space smells of smoke and burning metal
He breathes in Mercury, and Mars and Venus
He breathes in all the planets and the Sun
It still is not enough.
Looking around, he sees little lights blinking in the distance,
The wolf spreads his wings and flies off in search of more food.
Today a can of soup asked me, "Avez-vous une faim de loup?" It's a common expression in French, but I haven't been sleeping enough and this image popped into my brain.
