There were coyotes wandering around your grave I keep thinking that I am not different, I should have went You were always a better person than me And I thought of offering myself to the coyotes So they would not have to search for Pray You might be in some sparkly haven Some place where angels dance Maybe you’ll come back and prove to atheist me that there is some kind of life after this Coyote comes from Spanish—cóyotl It means barking dog. Perhaps the dog was famished, Wanting something more, Unable to sit inside a house and believe This was all there is Coyotes haunt me in the nighttimes I think I see them peering through My second story window Maybe you had to know too, That there was something more, And maybe in the night, You’re looking in |
