I AM THE FOX

I'm the fox

'round the elephants feet.

Coiling, curling, to see if

you can catch me.

Fantastic! Graceful, smaller,

smooth like the wind,

soft like the water.

Bright red but also brown,

the bushy tail gentle

in which to drown.

Sentimental. The snout sticks,

in a field of flowers a memory

pricks.

Reach the waterside, toss it in

swish the fur the water the air

and watch it slide.

Over the waters edge and inside

you'll see

a demon becomes me.
