Fylgja
Wolf was big this morning,
walking beside me,
strong and protective
against a thick winter sky.
The dogs noticed him —
bark upon bark
splitting the frozen air.
I am forever walking,
seeking a tribe,
my pack.
He listens as I walk,
telling the stories of my life
to the land,
to the water,
to the air —
stories born from the fire within me.
He licks my tears as they fall,
salt upon his tongue,
muzzling my hand
as I walk
and walk.
My hand reaches deep
into his oily pelt,
finding heat beneath the weather.
His starlit eyes
hold me gently,
as if he remembers
where I come from.
In him,
our ancestral memories
are not heavy —
they are home.
And still
he walks beside me.
