the red-sun weeping
coyote prowls the alleys
hungry in the cold
heat waves, like flowers blossom
thunder pounding in the ear
hot streams of liquid light, rush
rabbit trembling,
closing jaws
the mother captures breakfast
for her cubs

thunder pounding in the ear
hot streams of liquid light, rush
rabbit trembling,
closing jaws
the mother captures breakfast
