The Assent of Owl
Coyote whispers quietly into the ear of Owl
We must move this mountain, he says
But why, Owl replies, it seems happy here
Ah, says Coyote, it is
But the shadowed river is old
It gets cranky these cold mornings
Well, let it head south then
Owl turns large eyes on Coyote
says, you sure you don't just wanna scare the rabbits
Coyote smiles
Owl blinks
They move the mountain.
