I, raven
sit high
in the grayness
of the pine
the sighs of the wind
and waters
softly intersect
the canyon
The moon
rests gently
on the eastern hill
and I hear
as if a part of me
the life
of the dark
The dogs
speak of the day’s news
until interrupted by
the coyotes
urgency
of a day’s meal
unfound
The bear
still lies deep
high above
and the lion
waits
upon the stone
for passing prey
The night
subsides into morn
I breathe
the whole of it
between
the hills
