Coyote
Be vigilant of the coyote
He'll butcher the jacaranda.
We must avoid an ambush.
People who know the spells
of language advise
we strike a match against a stone
and light up a bonfire
to keep the animal away.
Political coyotes scurry off
when they spot a fire dancing in the air.
in my culture Coyote is the trickster/teacher. They bring you hard life lessons with humor which is often ribald and gritty
