into a valley of an unknown country
called loneliness. Without horse or dog
the heavens bottomless overhead.
We are like Marco Polo who came back
with jewels hidden in the seams of his ragged clothes.
A sweet sadness, a tough happiness.
This beginner cobbles together a kind of house
and makes lentil soup there.

	DerrickT says: Peter Sears: “To declare the meaningfulness is to curse the poem.” At night, the wolf chooses not to strike, though several feet away from a "potential victim," the wolf becomes a striker in midday, instead, it's "mood," to hide its eyes as if to play, to stalk, to pamper the idled eruption before it.
