SERENADE, by                    
First Line: Rest your foot at the cocktail bar
Last Line: . . . It's got a mate.
Subject(s): Soul; Wolves


Rest your foot at the cocktail bar
and go your way, lone lady.
But a rooftop hunched across a star
will tear your heart out, maybe.

Sure, the lone wolf knows what you have known,
how the small souls herd like cattle,
and the valiant run and hunt alone
and fight a friendless battle.

So go on earning your hard bright money
and locking your lattice gate.
But even the Lobo, the Lone Wolf, honey
. . . it's got a mate.
