Coyote Shofar

Coyote Shofar
In the seventh month on the first day of the month, you shall observe a sacred occasion. You shall observe it as a day when the coyote cries. (Numbers 29:1)
No silver trumpet
no ram’s horn
no long blasts.
Coyote crying in the valley
under the new moon
like fire on the mountain
shouting hineni
here I am.
