The Fox’s Bark

2 Replies

Sometimes the fox’s bark

Pierces the dark

As our bodies meet

Under comforting sheets.

A girl’s soft kiss

And exploring hands

Can command my lust.

But your bark,

So cold and sharp

Speaks of dust.

 

The Fox’s Bark

I often find

The fox’s bark

Fills my mind.

 

 

How fast the light

Fades in woodland glades

And becomes the dark

Of suffocating night.

 

In the park

Where children play

His cold, sharp bark

Seems to say

You spend your day

In the sun

But the night

Blots out light

And your day

Is done.

 

(The final stanza is very long compared to the first 2 and I am not sure how the poem hangs together. Would welcome the views of my readers. Thanks. Kevin).
