after a pause
another wave of
fresh snowfall
when did wolf tracks end
and human footprints begin?

    I like the turn from wild animal to human here: our footprints are causing some big problems.

    Beautiful and, all the same, mystifying in those tracks. Where do they end and where do they begin? Some answers we may never know, but in nature we all walk and live.

    I love the thought of shapeshifters… it really is one of the most fascinating parts of folklore that I think exist in most cultures.

    This tanka has a sort of silent strength, and deep wisdom to it. Love this, Frank! ๐Ÿ™‚
