Like a creature chasing a pure wolf

A little creature
Ghastly to look at
Sticky, moldy, muddy, and gross
Disgusting in every which way
Messy and contagious
Sloppy and ugly
Like a bloody disease which contaminates
Chases a white wolf
Pure frosty fur rippling in the wake of the wind
Strong and muscular from practice and running
With icy eyes that pierce and strengthen
And teeth that can slice through gristle
The wolf knows that it’s strong
And powerful and pure and graceful
It runs

It runs from something so weak
So slow and pathetic and dangerously contaminating
Because it is disgusted
Because it is the only thing the wolf finds terrifying
To be anything other than a pure strong noble wolf
To be caught in that sticky trap is beneath the wolf
The wolf must stay in the land of ice and snow
Of cold and purity
Of clear skies and sharp edges
Of no growth but winterscape
This wolf knows his home
This creature would try to catch the wolf and make it his slave
This creature would hurt him
This creature would make him sick.

Leave me alone!”, commands the wolf to the wretched thing
It hides behind a rock
Paranoid, the wolf continues to run from the sticky mess
He will not stop running for many miles until his muscles have reached their limits and he collapses in an icy cave
He will protect himself from any intruders
He will build an absolute impenetrable shelter from ice
And finally, even the mighty wolf will rest

At last at peace.
