Distance from a Scenic Turnout to Grand Teton National Park,
as Told Through the Eyes of a Coyote

By Paul Goudarzi-Fry

—no.        Half a coyote.

This is what you will do:

 

wherever you go,

you will measure the gaps in

                 half-coyotes.

 

And across the black tongue

of the world, teeth of mountains

                     meet the deeper

star-covered teeth

of sky.

            And I am

 

running there.    Forever a mouth.

 

A forever feasting

on young summer storms.

 

Mouth of all before me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Where are you going.
