Coyote

Chapter One. Fly. But unfortunately. Tragically. Comically. There becomes here. Every. Single. Time. Keep moving. Dread ‘til dead. Best keep breaths shallow. Rushed. Predictable. Random. It will come, but when? Explosion. Social disaster. Familial carnage. Dust settles. Gone to green. Open. Endless. Never arrive. Just survive. Pedal. Rolling hills. Miles of corn. Woods. Streams. Pastoral jailbreak. Exhaustion. Collapse. Inhale. Finally. Bird song. Insect hum. Sunburn. Water runs along. Slow. Deep. Brown. Safe. Sleep. Longer roads to travel. Walk through the door. Hard habit to break. Distraction. Diversion. Appeasement. Accommodation. Just don’t be mean. Triggered. Translucent. Transparent. Invisible. Wind. Empty. Dusty attic. Comfort. Blanket. Hide. I’m not here. Please leave a message. Flight, not fight. Cozy corner under rafters. Home. Sanctuary. Far away laughter. Like thunder. Echoed talk. Specter. Haunt. Wisp of personality. Hint of presence. Suggestion of life. Numb. Unable to cope. Fled upstairs. Hungry. Bored. Came down once more. Cycle. Circle. Repeat. Getting nowhere. Fast. But. Disrupt. Corrupt. Tea. Made by coyote. In a cup. Bitter. Nauseous. Lie down. Don’t get up. Watch sky. Feel rain. Smell sage. Explore pain. Hours and hours. Days without end. Wolf dog checking in. Ok. Off again. Nothing fixed. Remain the same. But. Cracks appear. Glowing fissures. Illuminate. Something. Nothing. Anything. We’ll see. Chapter Two. Last time. Close. Didn’t want to come back. New track. Re-create disaster. Join world. Get job. Start family. Same result. But…maybe not. Perhaps. Different. By a lot. Generational. Educational. Free your mind. And your ass will follow. The kingdom of heaven is within. Chapter Three. Old. Breath. Body. Preparation. Separation. Occupation. Be here now. Be there later. Not morbid. Tune in. Check out. Meaningful. Radish. Sweeter than sugar. When cooked. Medicine bag. Don’t let anyone persuade. The devil’s conjecture. Persist. Endure. Don’t worry. It’ll all be ok.
