Up on our little hilltop in Haudenosaunee territory south of Cayuga Lake, we've plenty of coyote neighbours. They sing to us regularly. Tonight, our next door human neighbour knocked on the door to drop off our cat Wyn, who wants to be outdoors more lately, being among the many critters with prey drive kicking into high gear as Spring begins to make an appearance around here.  Apparently there was a coyote just outside in our backyard about an hour after sunset, spooking one of the neighbour's cats.  While our neighbour is considering chopping down trees and installing bright yard lights in response, we have a special affinity and affection for Coyote, and decided ki was inviting us to write a song in ki's honour, submitting it lickity quickity to be included among Cohort 7's new songs.  Each of these parts are simple interlocking layers that together tell the story; singers are invited to choose one and fully embody the being who is singing that part! This is a song that could be done with improvised or choreographed movements, in place or around the space.  Maybe more to this song will come, maybe not... Beware underestimating the holy wise fool or ki's seemingly simple message...Coyote understands more than it appears...
