Coyote in the Valley

X
by Stephanie Ginese

In the hushed plum of twilight
              I hear You

wild chanteuse
             charming the dark
                          behind teeth made of moon

stay hidden, shadow shifter
             for the dog of us understands you
             not

the pitch of your feral song carries

                                       sacred story after sacred story

You laughed & the world was                  You laugh & the world is

resilient wilderness
in honest pursuit of somewhere we are not.
