This is very scary! There is a series of terrifying poems that I love that's unfortunately very scarce now, called "The Strangers" by Kristine Ong Muslim, and I think your poem here would get along swimmingly with them!

Can it shapeshift?

That is the legend of the skinwalker, yes. My understanding of it comes from the new mexico / nevada / arizona / utah areas where I’ve run around a bit

Literal belief says it can be a coyote, a bird, a spirit

My belief is that it probably wears a suit a lot of the time
