Coyote Supermoon
Her desert
teases wildness
under my door
grinding orphans
from broken teeth
to the choke of threadbare stars
She hangs--
drum skin pale
deader than salt and straw
cold lesson crooned
for tiny men
their tallest dreams
no bigger than a grain...
And never louder
than the silence
of her scream
teases wildness
under my door
grinding orphans
from broken teeth
to the choke of threadbare stars
She hangs--
drum skin pale
deader than salt and straw
cold lesson crooned
for tiny men
their tallest dreams
no bigger than a grain...
And never louder
than the silence
of her scream

Very interesting wording
Coyotes howl at the moon
but yours seems dead
*****************************************
She hangs--
drum skin pale
deader than salt and straw
*****************************************
and her scream is silenced
a nice poem to a dead coyote
????????????????????????????

you could be correct - altho perhaps then I would have ended on howl rather than scream.
The moon has long been a symbol of doom in my personal sky & there are lots of other crazies hanging there too - far scarier than a dead coyote.
But as always, it's for you to decide what works for you.
