Coyote sleeps
He’s been asleep a long time
Longer than I’ve been alive
Much has changed, the air
the water, the land
Some say the people eaters
are back
Coyote better wake soon
Look into their brown eyes
it is clear
Look at their clothes
they are not their own
Where have the syilx gone?
Coyote better wake soon
Senklip awaken
inside of us
In all of us, all we
have to do is listen
Believe
We have a purpose
our own purposes
We have reason
our own reason
It is important not to
force our purposes onto
one another
Coyote slowly wakes
Quilsten, sweathouse
cleanse our soul
Help us see
What we need to see
