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.
