(From Red Rover, University of Chicago Press, 2008.)
the fox
Did we live lightly then?
Twice we’ve seen the fox,
the flash
of red that leaps
the weeds and brush, an after-
image gray,
then blank, then gone
delight cannot be sought
or pleasure thought
or joy re-caught
but twice we saw the fox, not once,
and knew his fear of us
Step in time, love, step in time,
live inside the morning
twice we saw the fox, not once,
and knew his fear of us
