I Heard a Wolf Whistle

I heard 

wolf whistle


on the night of 

the full moon


I was driving down 

the highway and 


saw a coyote in 

broad daylight at noon


I heard that if you 

see a coyote during 


the daytime, it means 

that they're feeling ill


in the desert with 

the tumbleweeds, 


everything on the 

ground stood still


I want the wolves that howl 

in my head to quiet down


they keep me up late 

at night and make 


me explore the terrors 

of what's underground


I want love, but a

shadow of affection, 


I want the ghosts that haunt 

me to give me less attention


these wolves, they're 

always listening


I know they're around 

when I hear their whistling
