Long ago
When you were a wolf
You attacked me time and again
And curtailed my freedom.
Today, haunted
By your past evil deeds
A painful impulse sometimes,
I am enduring.
That is
Myself to turn into a wolf
Like a cursed one
And where non can see us
Fight with you
A fierce noisy battle
To settle the old scores.
Yet, today,
You turned yourself
Into a meek lamb
Old and wavering,
Believed in non violence.
And seeing you changed
I did not think of fighting with you.
But do you know
The ghost of the wolf
Once you were
Still sometimes biting me
Making me wish
To retaliate violently.
