Coyotes <\/strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Coyotes leave deep paw prints<\/p>\n

in new snow, traipsing east to west<\/p>\n

in search of the sun, so many miles<\/p>\n

before the dawn when they curl and sleep<\/p>\n

buried by snow and leaves.<\/p>\n

There are buck tracks too, a line alongside<\/p>\n

the coyote, each walking the same path<\/p>\n

as me, but not hunting each other<\/p>\n

just on the move while I search<\/p>\n

for sleep and wish for the lightness<\/p>\n

of breathing freezing cold air<\/p>\n

minus seven below, wearing<\/p>\n

my thick beige coat.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
