Animal
Hymns

"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened."
- Anatole France.

Red Fox

Ears tilt.
Snow hushes.
A breath beneath—
spooled and twitching.
He lifts
like red silk unpinning itself
from a hook in the sky,
then dives.
What he finds
has no name,
but once,
it pulsed in the hush of roots.
—Heart & Mind
