coyote, scream your hunt song.
your wife is screaming too;
but not along to you and
your raven eyes no reason
fearing your slug tongue
under her stocking feet your
contingent evolution.
the birds just laugh at your scorn.
I try to hand you a bone
and you leave all the flesh on.
what kind of tricks are these then?
my feet are set here in stone.
people enjoy their freedom.
but then how could you know?
you keep yourself alone and
canine teeth elbow squeezing.
conjure hallucinations,
kelp, smoke and LSD so
we market thoughts in our fists.
your fingers wrapped on her wrist
like you were some kind of snake too.
forget your fear lest you bruise.
your gypsy eyes all slitted
carry just such a load.
