can u give a line by line explanation of the poem "The Last Wolf " by Mary Tallmountain ?
the are the ones of the poem :
The last wolf hurried toward me
throught the ruined city
and I heard his baying echoes
down the steep smashed warrens
of Montgomery Street and past
the ruby-crowed high rises
left standing
their lighted elevators useless
Passing the flicking red and green
of traffic signals
baying his way eastward
in the mystery of his wild loping
gait
closer the sounds in the deadly
night
through clutter and rubble of quiet
blocks
I hear his voice ascending the
hill
and at last his low whine as he
came
floor by empty floor to the room
where I sat
in my narrow bed looking west,
waiting
I heard him snuffle at the door and
I watched
He trotted across the floor
he laid his long gray muzzle
on the spare white spread
and his eyes burned yellow
his small dotted eyebrows quivered
Yes, I said.
I know what they have done.

This poem is called, “The Last Wolf.” It is by Mary Tallmountain. I choose this poem because I am always interested when someone writes about nature and the animals that must live inside it. This poem was very unique because it combines nature and the grime of the city. It describes a woman who knows this wolf and can understand him. The wolf is the last left of his kind and when the wolf walks into the room where the woman is waiting; she says, “Yes, I know what they have done.” This implies that someone or something has killed the other wolves. The wolf feels incredibly alone and howls out while he is running through the city toward the woman. This woman is the only thing that the wolf has left and he feels compelled to come back to her and express his grief. This poem could be about the destruction of the world and its creatures. It could be a premonition of a time when the cities of the world are overrun by wild life and people no longer appreciate the worlds beauty and kill off all of the wolves in their fight for survival in this new doomed world. This poet uses amazing imagery in describing the crumbling city and the emotion on the wolf’s face. She breaks her poem apart line by line in order to create a more dramatic affect. One word may go on a line. This emphasizes the lines in certain stanzas and creates a ‘body’ to her poem. There is a distinct introduction, of herself and of the wolf, then the body, then the conclusion where she understands the wolfs suffering.
