There is a wolf in me and I keep it because the wilderness will not let it go.
There is a fox in me and I pick things out of the wind and air.
The wilderness will not let it go and there is a hog in me.
Before the first chapter of Genesis, there was a fish in me.
There is a hankering in me, a dog-faced man, and a blond and blue-eyed woman.
There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird and they are fighting among the Sierra crags of what I want.
