A WOLF by Jorge Luis Borges - October 1992







Grey and furtive



in the final twilight,



he lopes by,





leaving his spoor along



the bank



of this nameless



river that has quenched the thirst



of his throat, these waters that repeat



no stars.





Tonight, the wolf is a





shade who runs





alone







and searches for



his mate and feels





cold.





He is the last





wolf in all



of Angle-land.
