A Pair of Monarchs and a Coyote
Of summer strolls o’er hazy
fields and sleepy streams
one in particular returns as a dream
A pair of monarchs guiding our path
fluttering and flitting just beyond our grasp
when, of a sudden, a coyote streaks by
as if to give the monarchs the lie
What did it mean, puzzled, hearts still racing
Perhaps not to reach for what is not ours…
To pay closer attention
