Yip, Yip, Yip

by Mario Milosevic

Coyote speaks

from beyond the hills

where all the voices

live together in a house

built by wind

and held together

by the mesh of

our imaginations

We are ignited

on a path reaching

to the horizon’s edge

where sound moves

into our muscles

and animates the

will to understand

the structure of howling.
