Five Coyote Afternoon

 

Just a quick ride this afternoon, some loops around the farm and the oak woodland. In a drizzling rain, five coyotes were gathered, looking for a game.

"I come old friend from hell tonight

Across the rotting sea

Nor the nails of the cross, nor the blood of Christ

Can bring you help this eve...

The dead have come to claim a debt from thee

They stand outside your door

Four score and three

Did you keep a watch for the dead man's wind?

Did you see the woman with the comb in her hand?

Wailing away on the wall on the strand

As you danced to the Turkish song of the damned..."

(MacGowan and Finer)
