Startled: Kitsune Poem

Published Sep 16, 2015

It's early for the October Poem, I'm still considering what creature to choose for the official October poem. Since I have not felt well enough to work on the next installment of Selkies' Skins here is an extra poem, with the caveat I am getting back to the story after recuperating enough.

Startled

A flash of silver

then it’s gone.

What was that

across the lawn?

In the hedge

blue eyes watch.

While we

enter our lodge.

Across the sea

Green eyes gaze

upon young

at their play.

A red tail

strives to stay still.

Gleeful tail

has own will.

Between, a table

hides the clue.

But a dog barks-

and a flash, blue.

Rustling fabric

reveals the crying fox

running away

despite sad squawks.

Kitsune, where

Do you dash so?

Your lover calls

“come home.”
