COYOTE COMES TO GREAT RIVER by Terry Everett
the sun falls through a tree, and the moon-mirror radiates over Dark'ning Land, as the Cherokee say, and Nearby and Faraway, Coyote howls down by the Riverside and Sky sings: Bear sings low in the Northwest, Capricorn adds bass in the South, Cassiopeia sings Wolf-song in the East, and Pegasus runs Unbridled across the Sky-Dome turning indigo and humming a harp-tune struck upon dark strings by Jupiter, the Moon, and stars pulsing with radio waves that pour into Coyote's ear, pour out in Coyote's River-Love-Song. |
Everett's poetry has appeared in TAPESTRY (DSU Division of Languages and Literature art-literary magazine) and numerous magazines and journals. He is Assistant Professor of English Emeritus from DSU where he taught courses in composition and literature.
And here is another: "A Stand of Trees."
And another: Uncle Bob's Empire
