Coyote Lament

woodland haunts vanished

rasping sound of saws

thundering crash of trees on forest

floor like distant thunder

my den once nestled beneath a rock

cosy and warm lined with spring moult

sacrificed to a monstrous yellow maw

gouging the soil

I wander now many miles belly heavy

with this years pups

hoping for a haven wild with spring

growth a safe
