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.
