a ghostly figure moving through the dark
the coyote emerges from the chaparral.
down the trail he sneaks on feather feet
then shoots across the roadway like an arrow.
an intruder, an interloper
invading the peopled flatlands below,
seeking opportunity in the still, moonless night.
ever watchful… senses on high alert,
but bold and audacious by nature.
roaming, listening, sniffing the air…
he prowls the suburban valley streets…
on a mission to redeem an ancient birthright.
