pause




yesterday we watched a fox
stalk the goslings.  the pond

their world.  the field beyond
another unmarred nebula.

everything is still winter
gold, the daffodils on the hill

rogues.  who knows
how they came to be

that far away from the road
the border garden our neighbor's

property line.  free
as they are  and as seeing as

they can be leaf
green and briefly pink

in their middles like vixen
tongues they know nothing

or everything about
the hunger of pups

or goslings.  and brief
the black paw raised

and brief the black foot
paused, grass, daffodil, water
