Animuse the Trickster
The spider the first to deceive The untangled web in the tree A man, a beast, a spirit to teach A hero, an enemy or wisdom’s breach Just an elder’s story, to shape the youth shifting children’s minds to their view or a struggle between creator and the created A rabbit to chase or the raven’s stone berated The laughing coyote or wise as the fox they do change whisperers, skin walkers, wind talkers the stories remain wisdom coming from strange creatures, yet familiar visitors Be careful of what you have learned, that it is not a trick sir
