I was driving along Highway 4, and I saw a coyote. I've been thinking about it ever since--its long, clever face and its somewhat menacing gaze when our eyes met. It was one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I hope these haiku do it justice.
Coyote
Eyes meet—yours clever,
threatening; mine surprised by
your bushy tail.
-------------------------------------
You’re much browner than
I realized, Coyote.
In paintings, you’re grey.
-------------------------------------
Your gait quick, easy
through the tall grass. Brown
and grey, you blend in.
