man, those howlers were barking up a storm when we arrived, stepping out of the car and into the humid seaside evening air the next morning in the rain, we didn't see them, but heard 'em, and i got my best howler monkey guttural call on it didn't matter because it was raining in the rainforest along the caribbean and the sound of them was good enough as if you're going to believe that, dear reader, we wanted to see them, and is why i howled more than a few times

a coyote crossed my path yesterday
trickster, sauntered across the road
and up the railroad tracks embankment
looking back and then disappearing
down over the other side to the east
i was out biking, taking advantage of
forties for temperatures and sunny
skies, even though a stiff wind blew
from the southwest that put a chill
in the air and slowed me down some
it was my first “wild” coyote sighting,
i think, bringing a smile to my face like
the first time i heard them in the night
camped at devil’s tower after a
tremendous summer storm passed
