Coyote-three-pack

Desert Survivors Native Plant Nursery
Honey-glazed in the late morning sun
Coyote-three-pack shimmers toward the
Santa Cruz and its dry bed
Looking healthy and well fed

Dapper Roadrunners colorfully decked-out
For the mating season’s onset, scurry
To and fro between nursery and riverbed
With coyotes stalking those colorful birds
What would Wiley E’s advice be?
