First Line: Just before dark
Last Line: That dreams his dreams.
Alternate Author Name(s): Harrison, Jim
Subject(s): Coyotes
Just before dark
watched coyote take a crap
on rock outcropping,
flexing hips (no time off)
swiveled owl-like to see
in all six directions:
sky above
earth below,
points of compass
in two half-circles.
There.
And there is no distance.
He knows the dreamer
that dreams his dreams.
