but I survived. I swam to shore. I am La Primera

There were sixteen of us: sorrels, blacks and bays.
One of them was my first born. He was called the Coyote Dun.
He survived and conquered all of Mexico.

When the grass was high, they would raid for a thousand miles.
But the Texans had revolvers when they came back from the war.
The buffalo had gone away. The Comanche moon was waning.

High in the Pryor Mountains in first light of dawn
A Coyote Dun walks beneath the Morning Star.
He became an outlaw and his blood was watered some,
but the flame still burns into the new millennium.
