With the local Coyotes
The older ones start it all…
Just after a human siren passes and causes, or at least provokes, the whole messy cacophony;
Then, the younger ones yelp in and on-endlessly!
Not knowing when to stop, or what’s alarming them.
I suppose it is all started by some emergency
We have, and how we signal one another so loudly.
But it all ends in this frantic yelping into the night…..
Which recalls all our laments,
And our common howls together.
