wildlife services
-bitter-bitter-oh
our services 
killed
76,859 coyotes in 2016
in order 
to 
"resolve conflicts
to allow people
and wildlife to exist"
huh? huh.
and this is logic
to us, 
our brand, the same
as we apply 
with terror.
i see this.
i see how inspiring
the coyote survives.
the conflict and the resolution
of same.

the indigenous spirit
must survive our
annihilation,
like the coyote,
that lanky sinuous
shifting form. gone
and there 
in the green spontaneous
periphery we feel 
we cannot see. 

killing coyotes and killing people, it's the same war.
