Comets and Coyote

I hear the echos of coyote through the cinder block walls of my cabin

Louder than the constant hum allowing me to deep sleep wrapped in the coolness of season change

I saw a comet coming home

Earlier, the moon a nail clipping tossed up to the sky 

No shadow just the slate blue of the atmosphere 

I crawled down the hole to the rats with no fear

They are smart and want nothing of me

Through the tunnel I found a courtyard 

Lemurs watched me with dozens of eyes above the hydrangeas 

My hands were sticky weeds entangling three babies as small as tree frogs 

I wanted to keep them like a silver dollar but I returned them to their own
