I watched the fox reclaim our street 
and bask in sunny spot 
where people used to meet.
He’s top dog now in open sight, 
where once he slipped
between the shadows of the night, 
between the bins, behind the wall, 
between the street lamp’s yellow light.
No stealth now. No fuss. No fear at all.

Hello Bob Kimmerling, so nice to meet you. I have a feeling now that the fox is brave to come into the city. No one knows how he got there, the fox is better off in the country. Have a nice day my friend. Stay safe.

Hi Darlene In London we have thousands of urban fixes living in gardens and parks. They have always been brazen, and sometimes known to commute to city restaurant areas on early and late trains.They used to skull from house to house from dusk and under cover. Since lock down they have now reclaimed the streets and seem quite at home in briad daylight. Thanks for posting your comment!
