Coyote Dreams

Would you trust the moon?

She is said to bring

Both madness

And balance;

All women are tied to her.



Would you believe me

And would you stay here

If I told you I am a skinwalker,

Daughter of the witchery way?

See, in the tousled blankets,

My wolf skin,

My coyote,

And even the owl of Athena;

I must wear them first, to become them.



Would you trust the moon?

Would you let her speak to you, through the skylight?

Would you believe me

If I said I loved you?

Would you think it was just more shape-shifting trickery,

Or would you kiss me and say,

"Silly, beautiful woman"?



See, outside in the darkness,

Owl flies.

Coyote dreams.
