Fox 

Foxes cross, their furtiveness cancelling their fleetness

Around a blind bend at eighty, your feet aren’t quick enough to cease us

In the glovebox a shoepolish tin of Fox’s glaciers rattle like boxed rocks when the bow bends

The fox in heat drags an unseen musk, his mist the smell of a cupboard thrice masturbated in

Bumper knocks him clear, no gaudy scar, his life deleted

Black as peat the road and white stripes.
