Nocturnal Rig

starkness invading, picture windows view the wake of an invisible house through the maze of forest oaks becoming blue. seizure of sure Winter eyes, long night’s coup. of red foxes, no sightings but a twig snapping, turns chilly heads, as moonlight wigs out at the littered floor, nocturnal rig — cacophony of coyotes, the dig. 11/27/2020

Red foxes and coyotes; you are truly blessed Kim. They may be your power animals. Fox teaches you how to finesse and maneuver well around people in your life. Coyote is a symbol of trust, innocence, and childlike wisdom of the world. Nicely done!

My neighbors have told me coyotes have gone through my backyard. We had a red fox, so near, then he dug a hole and buried something.
