Of Doves and Buzzards

                                                     Of doves and buzzards

                                                      There are pairs

But the lone coyote

Does not have the cares

That paired ones share

And keeps more distance

Not having wings to fly away

To begin with.

But of doves and buzzards

With voice of night

The lone coyote sings

                                                     Broadcasting plaintive plight

                                                       Unanswered.
