Two Wolves

Half-charred and eggshell wolf
(Wrestling) within the gulf
Sheltered in the east
Between lands of the least
and the mountains of the most
United as foes of Faust
Divided by ?
Echo
Stuck on the sidelines
Placing bets

Labelled carnivorous
Yet monstrously meek
An ethos to seek
(Promised a feast)
Left with a perpetual (hunger)
Left to eventual devices
Sacrifices exchanged for vices
Resigned to forfeit

Fighting realities
Tangled in trivialities
Unfed but still unbled
Monstrously meek
An ethos to seek
For an assumed inheritance

Forgo the night
Feeding the white
Defeat the sin
Pause to ask
Who set me on this task
Why must one win?
Is the joke on me -
Is there anything to see?
