You are not alone
Lupine
Howling up to the inviting glow of the moon
Beautiful She-Wolf
Tethered by chains
You are not forsaken
Lupine
Squinting up to the blast of the sun
Damned nocturnal creature
Tethered by night
You are not mistaken
Lupine
Mistaken for mere canine
Eyes glistening
Tethered by fear
You are not shaken
Lupine
Howling because we have lost you
Beautiful creature
Tethered by prejudice
Come back to us
We are tethered by our fear of you
Lupine

I would like to translate this poem
As a botanist, I find this confusing. Lupine? Lupus is latin for wolf however, I'm still envisioning fields of purple and white flowers howling because they are lost and being mistaken for animals.
