Coyotes

Yes I am

Your lover man

Yes I am

Your lover, lover, lover man

The coyotes are getting

Bolder

They come to watch

The dog sleep

She sleeps later

And later

As she gets older

And older

In her dreams she is coyotes

Which of course is what she used to be

A dream of a coyote

Watching over you and me

I tried to signal you a danger

But my voice had not yet come through

You were bent over, a peanut of a child

A new flower on the peeving

They say never wake a dreamer

Maybe that's how we die

I realize now that dreams are real

I wanted to tell you, pretend to stick together

Down through the generations

Up through the archives

Holding hands through many lines

And clusters or packs

Or coyote bands

That is how and why I love you now

And have always and will always

Love you now

Yes I am

Your lover man

Yes I am

Your lover, lover, lover man

Yes I am

Your lover man
