Author's Notes: This is about a wolf's call to the pack. It came to mind after my wolf/husky started howling at a fire truck's siren.

PackSong

The call

It guides me

It catches my mind

My heart

The song

Lifting and free

I know where I must belong

Away from all of this

I must leave this city

Where I scrounger for food

In garbage pails

And trash bins

Away from the humans

Who kick and throw things

Away from these terrible scents

Which clog my nose with their horribleness

No

I must be free

Free to run across the wide and open tundra

To feel the earth beneath my paws

As that call lifted again

Another and another joined in

'Til it was a song

A packsong

Standing at the edge of the city

The place I've lived all these years

I could feel the pull grow

Stronger

But to leave the place

Where I've lived for so long

Took much more strength

Than I expected

One more howl

A howl of welcome

Four figures stared at me

From the top of a hill close by

I never looked back
