From In a Time of Distance and Other Poems
By Alexander McCall Smith
Some years ago I visited a friend who has a cottage in Eastern Ontario. One evening, my friend demonstrated to me an unexpected talent.
WOLVES
I read Farley Mowat and thought
I knew something about wolves,
About how they run down
Their prey in lengthy pursuit,
About the long brotherhoods
Of wolves and their lonely deaths;
I thought I knew about all that
Until I heard a wolf howl in the night,
And was unprepared
For what I heard, for the keening
Of it, the utter desolation.
We stood outside, my friend and I,
With the world white about us
As he cupped his hands
And howled into the darkness;
From somewhere far away
Came a response, a howl so sad
Th at no words could describe
Th e regret of it, the loneliness:
Yes, I am here, it must have said;
Yes, I am here, and that is all.
