inhale the sacred
desert spirits
whisp’ring secret
primal dreams
dawn ignites
tingling senses,
taste rival winds
and bare your teeth
stalking prey from
eagled ledges
wild eyes shine
thru undergrowth,
pounce quickly down
the ancient path
to treble screams
and yielding moans
feast the maker’s
fleeting bounty
as adrenaline
passion cools
after darkness
calms the water,
coyote howl
a silver moon |
