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.
