Coyote Girl

How did I become

so wild?

Half girl, half coyote

Like a vampire child

I was made this way

By my maker

A starman from Orion

And his lover, pulled out of time

by gravity

I heard them once in whispers

call the other by their twin flame name 

a song only the other knows how to sing

calling forth the reunion

of one soul living for a time as two

Out of that union, I was made

for a specific purpose

which they keep from me,

for now, they say

So, as I wait, in not knowing

I keep myself busy

With all sorts of fun

I destroy in all the best ways

Setting fire to burn the doubt

of what a human life can be

I chase in unceasing play

to help them remember

how to dance disco

I love without conditions

I cry all the tears of this world

I laugh-bark at my hybrid self 

And dine on the flesh of monsters that make wishes of fear 

Coyote girls never fear

Our hearts are far too wild for that
