Triumph it seems is always short circuited upon reflection. Once can't control everything can one?
Anyway, on another note, the area I live in is 'over run' with wild turkeys it would seem. I see them often along the rural roads. They even invade the neighbourhoods close by. Bold creatures in need of a few more foxes ;)

Loved this simple poem about "a day in the life." The old fox slinking home... sated. Hey, that's a hell of a lot more natural than me going to the store to buy chicken wrapped in cellophane, no?
Ah dawn fox - tight writing vivid read :) "sated but cold" says so much

Sad for the turkey, but the balance of nature is what it is. The sly fox reigns supreme.
ReplyDeleteVivid imagery...powerful meaning behind the words. Lovely!
ReplyDeletecool. i always wonder if foxes or other critters ever really get cold.
ReplyDeleteha. a full belly dragging along the way...wonder if they have a conscience...and grow cold at the killing...or if it is just nature...
ReplyDeleteI can see him skulking off. Love the words "dawn fox".
ReplyDeleteah, the guilty fox and poor li'l turkey!
ReplyDeletesated but cold...sums up so much with so little.brilliant!
ReplyDeleteGreat imagery and does indeed say much with few words.
ReplyDeleteWell done I could see it ;D
ReplyDeleteYes, you rock
As any fox would tell you, sated and cold is better than un-sated and cold.
ReplyDeleteWith brevity, you tell us the story of staying alive.
ReplyDeleteSated, but cold--I love that!
ReplyDeleteI love how the feathers are not torn loose, but blown. It's total aftermath where temperature can be the focus again.
