Overall, I enjoyed this poem. I'll do a thorough critique later but on first impressions, I enjoyed it. The theme and tone emanated in a visual and evocative fashion, so much so that I "felt" and connected with the poem, which is a big plus.

Like I said, there are a few things I'd alter, but I'll proceed with that tomorrow morning.

Good.

against the distant hills.Good Imagery.

It was here,
where tribes deserted long ago,
dipped into the earth’s soul,
the moon forgot to shine
across the gape. Gape is an annoying and depressing word I think, replace with a more vivid image that captures the essence of the previous lines.

A coyote fell through,
broke its bones and sank midway
in muddy stench.
Four days, five nights howled
inside a hole,
to last,
below a star’s eye. Nice.

Magic worms
from a moments pocket
appeared , to weave
and eat the soft parts,
gather phosphorescence,
then blink out.

Shadow railed downward.
Soft flutter, the crow
with its eye cocked, pulled seed
from the ragweed,
while skull and claw moored
against the heart
of an irresponsible moon.
They were just the few things that irritated me but there not major. Still good work. Keep writing.

Thank you for reading my poem and for your comments. I'm glad you liked it. Triq, I think I may change the word "gape" to "tear". It might work.

Across the "Tear", is a tear a physical landscape because an actual tear or ( Tearing a piece of paper) ways of it wouldn't work?

I'm thinking of it as a tear (something torn) a crevice, a hole in the land. A place where something can fall metaphorically, physically as well as poetically.
