ARROYO BAYO, by                    
First Line: Coyotes whimper to the night
Last Line: The hunter's gun must have its say.
Subject(s): Hunting; Hunters


Coyotes whimper to the night ...
Bats fly in whippet flight ...
The meadow pales into white
By the moon's shadow light.

Hills of brush rim the sky ...
A wounded doe left to die ...
Crickets sing to hush her cry
Bones bleached white and dry.

Night is folded, put away ...
The sun drags in another day ...
Hounds start their hollow bay
The hunter's gun must have its say.
