vii. wolf dance
(the grandparents take the stage.)
grandmother
when i was very young
i faced a demon;
a ladybug of glass
it was spring, i was young;
and i smote it with a shining sword
of onyx and mother~of~pearl
grandfather
later in life
i faced a second demon;
a lion of dandelions and blue triangles
it was summer, i was older;
and i smote it with an ashwood longbow
strung with spiderwebs and witch hair
grandmother
the third demon came in autumn;
a great owl with sparkling spiraled h~rns
by then my body was slower;
but i had collected powerful stones, orbs, and talismans
and with their help
again the demon was vanquished
grandfather
the fourth demon was a mangy gray wolf
(they pull back a curtain to reveal wolf laying on the bar, in a full wolf~in~granny’s~nightgown costume.)
grandmother
it was winter
grandfather
the sky had folded in on itself
grandmother
the fourth demon was a mangy gray wolf
grandfather
and this was the demon i danced with

grandmother
oh my sad and lonely wolf
what great eyes you have
wolf
my eyes are your eyes
grandfather
oh my sad and lonely wolf
what great ears you have
wolf
my ears are your ears
grandmother & grandfather
oh my sad and lonely wolf
what great t~~th you have
wolf
my t~~th are your t~~th
grandmother & grandfather
oh my sad and lonely wolf
will you come down the chimney
and dance with me?
one more time?
grandfather
dance with the wolf
pin a flower to his chest
bite his lip
and caress his neck
this is who you are
it will never go away
so dance with your wolf
grandmother
dance with the wolf
hold him close
squeeze him tight
let your bodies dissolve into sky
this is who you are
grandmother & grandfather
it will never go away
grandfather
no more than night
surrender to the day
(susan dances with the wolf.)
grandmother & grandfather
so smile and embrace your darkness
grandmother
sing and scream in its gaping maw
grandfather
offer him branches and blankets
grandmother
hold him as he howls, ease his pain
both
sit at the loom
in your moonlit room
and weave your souls together
grandfather
else he may fester and fascinate
both
else he may snag you
and eat you alive
(sadie dances with the wolf.)
dance with the wolf
scratch his chinny chin chin
grandfather
meet his eye
grandmother
say his name
grandfather
breathe him in
both
make him a plate
because this is who you are
it will never go away
