The old man sang softly to himself As he walked out onto his porch In the late afternoon All the noises of his family Muted as the door swung shut And still he sang softly to himself All the grandkids watching YouTube on their phones make him flash back At that age he was taught to hunt And he marked his victory In red ochre on the cliffs above the lake As his mind wandered down that path His feet followed As he walked He sang old melodies That shook old memories from the trees And they fell around him like old leaves But as he approached the lake He was stopped at a barricade In front of loud men and their machines He could see a crowd at the gate Holding signs, public debate With that distraction, he was never seen He was a young hunter again As he snuck past the men Through the heart of the camp to the cliff face He saw that it was gone The red paintings on the rock The whole of the cliff, flattened and replaced By the growing outline of a pipeline The oil men have come again They brought their dying industry with them He knew this must not stand He must defend the land The old wolf hunts again Sly like a fox, clever as the crow He could be a hero The old wolf hunts again
