Foxes by Sarah Dickenson Snyder

The runway models

of the animal kingdom,

 

slim weaving in long grasses,

swaying, strutting to our pond,

 

their pond. The kits, too—three of them

trotting behind and through

 

the parent parade.

I watch them

 

from the deck,

decked with dew.

 

Everything shining

and flourished with summer.
