Coyote
Old man coyote I admire you
Say you were following two sisters
And you came, as we all do, to the crossroads
There those beauties part -one east one west
And without so much as a whisper
Spear in air you split yourself in two
And you yourself both
to the east and to the west
How humbly we try to do our very best
To be like you the clever shape shifter
Know and love the best of both sisters
Coyote -
The lightness of your step on mother's face
The ease with which you win your human race.
