- Late Afternoon over Taos Mountain
A Stone: One Daily Observation
Nothing to obstruct the view.
- Blood of Christ
The Mountain reflects blood red
Each part of the sky competes for your attention
Sunset in the Western Sky
Marks the end of a perfect day
A reminder of the “gift” given

Sunday Whirl
Coyote Laughs Last
Residue rises to the top
Floats, bubbles
The wheel turns
New green into yellow
Coyote mocks man
Made of matter
Something from nothing
Skins hang from the rafters
In sickening silence
There is no truth
Coyote mocks man
The breeze passes
A small movement
A rustle of wrapping paper
A kiss behind the ear
Man sees nothing
Coyote mocks man
You snuggle your cloak
Tightly around your body
The vessel
Which holds the fire of hatred
Coyote mocks man
I sweep fervently
Gathering the trash along the roadside
Open the trunk
A small carry on case
Holds the remains
Each individually wrapped
Dust to dust
Coyote mocks man

Yes, the sky does indeed bless us with beautiful gifts….when we take the time to look up!
Annell, this is a beautiful coyote poem. The trickster looks at us sideways, mocking our moves. Wonderful writing.
Thank you so much… the wordle seemed to be difficult this time. But thanks for your comments. Annell Livingston HC 74 Box 21860 El Prado, NM 87529

repetition
‘Coyote mocks man’ is almost like a chant..makes you feel embarrassed to even own a suitcase with wheels..and those skies..they shout and scream..Jae
My comment seemed to get lost. Anyway I like your photos of the Southwest skies and the coyote poem fits perfectly. I will try again here.
I surely do like both the writing and the photos. the new header image is striking. wow.

Your photos make me wish I lived in the west. Perhaps it took beauty like that to inspire this poem.
The skies in the west are amazing! I grew up in Texas and we didn’t have such big skies! Annell Livingston HC 74 Box 21860 El Prado, NM 87529

Annell, love the repetition in this “coyote mocks man”, well penned. I love your photos as well.

Annell, great work on the wordle. The sky photos are BREATHTAKING. Wonderful!
Annell, your poem is terrific and those photos are magnificent. The repetition gives the poem a chant-like quality and an inevitability.
I was sure I had already left a comment here, but obviously must not have. Again, the photos are breathtaking, and your poem is a wonderful use of the wordle words. And I agree with Mary, coyote mocks because he knows something man may never understand.
