The Fox, the Wolf, the Coyote

Night Sighs I. the fox fox slings by the road we see his eyes glow like moons he seeks a quick meal body low and quick he trots beside the gravel and lifts up his nose headlights capture him his ready meal forgotten he turns toward home II. the wolves two wolves in the pines by the cabin they watch us we are unaware one male, one female she in front, looking forward he guards from behind waiting for their prey she carries the signal key he follows her lead III. the coyote coyote is close his song beckons me to come a sigh in the night I hear his welcome haunting notes hang longingly in the cold night air morning reveals tracks he waited for me to join I sweep them away
