Lone Wolf

Scent of Eighty proof

Oozing from every pore

Quiet days and noisy nights

Nothing quenches better than his bottled nectar

War veteran; damaged soul; lost paradise

Missing limb; coins and dollars; beggar's paradise

Barely satisfied yesterday's hunger

A lone wolf in a forest full of riches

No hope to hold his peace

Heart is heavy; mind is drained

Troubled soul; shattered existence; lost faith
