Coyote

 The solitary wanderer,

Beneath the starless sky.

His shadow is not seen,

His soft, glowing eyes spy.


His footfalls deathly silent,

As he scours the desert rock.

His scans the scrub below,

Watching like a hawk


The sun slowly rises

Behind his furry back.

The night is fading silently,

As his prey he quickly tracks.
