F.O.A. (Bellwork) • Civilization by Myra Cohn Livingston • I've stood here lately, looking at the path Where deer once came to watch the sun go down, Standing with their ears pricked for the sound Of cars along the street.5 I've longed to hear coyotes call again Across the valley, howling from the hill, Baying when the night stands black and still Where sky and mountain meet. I've watched for the raccoons, who crept • 10 Along the rocks and over fallen wood, Begging near our windows for some food, Staring with black-ringed eyes. Lizards, rabbits, snakes, and moles. They came, Chewing the poppies, digging up the lawn, 15 Burrowing homes and holes. But they have gone. The mournful owls remember. So do I.
