I felt something bite my skin

As my eyes are wide open

The howl I hear awoke my entire body from its sleep.

While my body is laying there, shaking on the cold ground

I arose from my slumber

One section of my cold and tired body at a time

Until my entire body was standing at once

To my life

One by one,

I followed that sound

And it was a howl.
