Early Morning Encounter
Still coatless I pull on woolly socks
As the early mornng shadow chills my spine
The white snow transforms the landscape
From my kitchen window
I see you rise up from
Your bed of twigs
To meet this cold morn
Your daughter is with you
The fullness of your coat
Keeps you unaware
Of the icy flakes
That settle on your back
You have returned
After many days
I will not admonish you
But prefer your presence
Between my teeth
And along my tongue
I taste the metal of your absence

It is always wonderful when something or someone that has been absent returns. Beautifully wordled Annell, and I love the picture.
Oh thank you Mary. It was based on seeing a coyote from the kitchen window, he had made a bed on the twigs I had gathered from the garden. It thrills me to see nature up close, and for nature to see me. Annell Livingston HC 74 Box 21860 El Prado, NM 87529

I love the image of the ice on his fur… and the irony in missing and worrying about a wolf.
I think we are all connected… thanks for your comment. Annell Livingston HC 74 Box 21860 El Prado, NM 87529

I like this very much Annell. A spectacular photo of the wolf too–did you take it? How lucky you are to see a wolf from your kitchen window!! Wonderful description.
Thank you for your comments. I guess I should have said, I too the photo of the coyote from the internet. I will be more careful next time. Of course I didn’t have my camera, isn’t that the way it is? But I hold his image in my heart. Annell Livingston HC 74 Box 21860 El Prado, NM 87529
