Triolet for a Wolf

One afternoon deep within the wood,

I was warm when you came near:

You leaned your coat against me and there I stood,

one afternoon deep within the wood.

I didn't move although I thought I should--

your heat and silence were enough to fear--

 but that afternoon deep within the wood,

I was so warm when you came near.
