A Chapter by Coyote Poetry

 A story needing a edit and a ending. 

The water, Sky and the Earth.

The characters.

Coyote- A Ojibwa/Mexican wild in spirit. Trying to figure out some reason to be alive.
He wants to do the right things. Confused by the hate and abuse of the land, water and air by the greed of men. Why does man desire to destroy the beautiful forest and the sea?

Little Wolf- A Cherokee  fearless woman seeking to repair damage done by Man’s hunger to own everything. Soft brown eyes, flowing red hair like fire. Her beauty create fear in most men heart and soul.

Red Fox- A Cheyenne man seeking the next level of salvation. A 24 year Marine who won’t touch a gun or fight. He screams out in dreams and he don’t speak of War. He has pacifism tattoos on his right arm. The moon and sun above the word. A large man with a big smile and strong handshake.

Silent Bobcat- A Ojibwa/white. She is the youngest of the group and still hopeful. Her white skin and smile break down walls of hurt and disappointment. A Grad of the University of Michigan. She write down great plans to save our world. Her positive outlook allowed the other to keep their dreams and hope alive.

                              Nightmares..

Four people sat together on the Monterey Beach. It is late Fall 1991. Coyote passed the cigarette to Silent Bobcat. She asked him, what will you do Coyote? Your visions are  becoming true. The visions you are having are getting stronger. Coyote stated Chief Seattle statement and question.
“How can you buy or sell the sky?
The land?
The idea is strange to us.
If we don’t own the freshness of the air
or the sparkle of the water.
How can you buy them?”

Red Fox asked, What the hell does that mean now? Chief Seattle talked with common sense to deaf and dumb men in Washington. No different today then 150 years ago. Little Wolf smiled. Took the cigarette. Smoke it down to nothing. We took the long journey together and we followed the Apache way to see. Now the visions are coming true.

Coyote told her. It is too late. Iraq dropped million of gallons of diesel into the dead sea and the wars are here. The world is in dismay. We had 30 years to fix a problem no-one want to know about.
We can’t stop the poisoning of the water and the air? Big business controlled our world. Silent Bobcat eyes are burning with anger. If we don’t stop the pollution. Disease will begin the final journey of all Earth’s people. Including our brother’s and sister’s. Coyote, you must write down the visions and tell someone.

Red Fox smiled. He stood up and he reached for the sky. He tried to cradle the moon and he brought the pretend moon to Little Wolf. She rose up and they danced to the light of the moon. Coyote and Silent Bobcat joined in.

Three of them met at a Pow Wow in Washington State, many years ago in 1976. They became friends very quickly. The were younger and braver then. Heart and mind full of hope. A old Apache Shaman Don Joseph took them under his wing. He taught them how to heal with natural medicine and herbs.
They learn from Don Joseph to open their eyes with peyote and psychotropic plants. Opened their eyes to the true visions. They discover what was hidden in their heart and souls.

Red Fox was having bad dreams too. His visions of youth were coming true and he saw death coming soon for him. His time in Vietnam, taught him Death don’t give a s**t who it takes. Coyote asked Little Wolf. Who will believe a old Ojibwa/ Mexican man? It has began. The poison in the water and air will create sickness. Africa will go first then Asia. Europe is beginning now and American will be last. The youngest of found continents. Their death will be the worst. The hunger in America will destroyed
everything that is beautiful.

Silent Bobcat told him. We have time and we will find a way before the greed of men. Killed off everything that is beautiful. Red Fox brought Little Wolf closer to him. Like he felt very cold.
He told them. Millions will died when the water and air turns to poison. Viruses with no cure will kill cities off in days. Will be no place to hide. I saw myself in a big city in a deadly dream. Death is riding free and no-one will stop him.

Four Native Americans sat together at the sea. Prayer for Earth, prayer for peace. Coyote and Red Fox are dream walkers, they can see visions of the future and the visions are coming true. Little Wolf whispered. Pollution and science will kill us off.

Coyote dreamed yesterday. He walked into his house. and the house smell of death was everywhere. A note on the table. A woman and two children laid on a bed dead. The woman held the children.
“We love you,
we will be waiting for you.
Your loving wife.
June 16, 2026.

He walked outside. No cars, no movement of life anywhere. He looked to the sky and he yells to God. We killed off Mother Earth and he fells to his knees and he cries.

Author's Note

Thank you for reading.

Reviews

[John the Baptist]

A grim look at looming disaster here. The tale is told through the eyes of members of native tribes, but the signs are becoming clear to great numbers of people. The recent hurricane in Florida, the melting of the glaciers, the extreme heat, etc., all testify to the pollution of the world. There is much talk of what needs to be done, but talk alone won't do away with greenhouse gases.

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree John. Talk is just talk. Thank you for reading and the comment. I do appreciate. I am retired now. This is my last short story needing a ending. After this one. I wrote a 160 book in three days. This one will take a lot of time.
