Coyote is my favorite creature
Coyote tells you "Go away."
So many leave, and some, they grieve,
But Coyote sits here still today.
Waiting, watching, wondering,
With what you seek of everything,
Speaking secrets, cutting lies,
The bright Coyote with sparkling eyes:
He is my favorite teacher.

"Go away," he says, "Before I eat you up."
But Coyote makes no move to sup.
All he sees, and all he knows,
And where he watches, wisdom flows.
But if your heart is clouded, and footsteps bring no peace,
Why do you seek Coyote? To him you are a feast!
So come near him, never fear him
If your heart is calm and still,
But if not, ye are forewarned, you will feel Coyote's will:
He will give you what you want.
What you hear misguides you.
Coyote seeks detente.
He really is no preacher.
