LA Tonight by Harker Jones

Supernatural winds hasten across the sky

Under a tilted Cheshire moon, wry

Makes for a weird mood

Different from a full moon

There are too many sirens in the city

Wonder what it’s like in the high desert

and the mountain passes

where the siren calls of coyotes

ring

resound

reverberate

through the canyons

This is what it feels like in LA tonight
