Ride the Wolf

I draw my bow and let the arrow fly My heart will follow it across the sky Through the clouds and layers of air Into the mighty shining lair Ride the wolf Across the vast fields Cling to fur Fur of diamond rays Seven torches cast their light and shadow On every mountain peak and meadow In the heart of this glorious beast Condense the powers of kings Its howl will pierce every single ear The radiance to wipe out every tear The lids of our eyes and the lids of our graves So many to crush and so few to save I raise my sun-shaped goblet high And the crescent dagger shines bright I wait for the order from the lords of the flame To slit and drink and fly away "Sirius rises late in the dark liquid sky on summer nights, star of stars Orion's dog they call it, brightest of all, but an evil portent bringing heat and fevers to suffering humanity" -Homer
