On the Run

the robust red fox
midst emerald field —
   bilocation
he’s there, he’s here
in my heart, still on the run

Kim, so you have a bit of a fox in your heart? I have to think about it for a moment I suppose it's part of nature, and we should respect and honor all of it. It's also nice that there's a bit of a thrill in watching something so magical and quick.

I loved how you employed the pivotal image in line 3 in this Tanka, rich in imagery. A poignant subject, Kim, obviously dear to your heart. Fox cubs are starting to make their appearance about now and pose no threat to domestic animals.

This one was a beauty! They don’t using stand still for our viewing so we need to follow them with our eyes as they disappear and only remain in our imagination. Thank you, Suzette!
