lost wolves

somebody tacked up a photo
on a residential power pole
of two wolves in the wild
gazing off into the distance
at some far-off prey, maybe
or at something the photographer
used to distract them from himself.
he didn't want to be eaten
only to snap some shots
of their lank shoulders, grey coats
and yellow eyes, mean and sad.
but why the power pole?
these two mythic creatures
surely belong to somebody
and, obviously, are lost.
