She Wolf.




"Since the wolf is my shepherd,
why put up with the pretensions of the shepherd?
What abandon! What drunkenness!
You hold the cup in your hand.
Blessed is the place you are,
and glorious to the eye of the heart.
Each atom, by your grace, is a universe,
each drop of water a soul."

Where does the one begin and the other end? Examining this woman's naked body either the transformation from either species to the other was difficult, or the woman's scars are from battles with other wolves, or women envious of whatever she possesses and loves. Where does the truth of a person become menacing to the disclaimers of truth to power in the womb, or the heart? Whenever a meeting occurs between a shape shifter and a witness to her transformation fear from the spectator settles into the exchange, and the wolf focuses attention on the threat of the person full of fears, and acts accordingly.  - Alowan Chanteh Inyan Wichasha 11.5.13
