fox!

[skydyr]

So yesterday a fox I saw
I heard it crunching as it stepped
On frozen grass with every paw

At midnight when the night is soft
There was a fox, its head aloft
In silence watching with an eye
As slowly, slowly, we drove by

The window down, in frigid air
Two souls to see a rarity
A stepping fox, not silently
was turning back to seek his lair

The gentle quiet when he fled
In which I dreamt of you and thought
to share him as I went to bed.
