I am Coyote
in human form
one who drools poetry
sly as a bag of bones
alert to every hazard
Long odds
are nothing to me
I'll beat every beast
with courage and finesse
And to get to the next realm
where I become myself
I must leave scant traces
survey the world
through scent and sound
And find the bridge
that builds itself
as I walk
across a terrifying chasm
of evolution and magic
to human form
Here to ponder your fate
Here to look to your good nature
Here to endure your pogroms
And survey your world
notwithstanding your traps and tricks
with a modicum of good cheer.
Ever wary.
Ever well.
