'Watching'
An Urban fox I found sat on the compost heap in my
garden.Looking into her eyes, I imagine she is thinking:
'Leave me in peace, I am resting.
Its daytime and I have a long night ahead of me,
I am cold and trying to warm myself through the compost heap and the rays of the weak winter sun.
Tonight I shall have to work hard to find food, to get me through the night,
Whether it be discarded takeaways, berries, worms or even a mouse, it'll be a scavenge.
Please leave me in peace, I can't help being a fox.'
(A countryside fox lives over 12 years ...an urban fox survives for only 2-3years.) - al hayball ©2014
