to you my friend

Many loved him as a refined and clever, interesting man………
and were horrified and disappointed when they came upon the wolf in him.
And they had to because he wished, as every sentient being does,
to be loved as a whole and therefore it was just with those whose love he
most valued that he could least of all conceal and deny the wolf……….
"Where do you get your ideas from?” I ask him.
"I live in the dark…and peek only now and again into this world gone pale, cold, and claiming to be real……Maybe you want to glimpse too?”
He smiles.
