Outside Appleton City

Outside Appleton City
I see a coyote pounce a mouse
in a hayfield.
He lowers his head and flips his prey
into the air
and swallows it down
without a bite.
I see this scene of life and death
traveling 60 m.p.h.
I love the prairie lands
like a wandering wife.
When I leave home
I find her
and she welcomes.
