A Thin Fox<\/span>
 <\/span>
a thin fox, hard as nails,<\/span>
thin, arthritic, rheumatic,<\/span>
septic eruptions on sore feet,<\/span>
keen nose and sorry bag of effluvium and entrails<\/span>
up for the erectile, hard frost, somewhere to go,<\/span>
 <\/span>
lakeside path, through snowdrop, primrose,<\/span>
daffodil, an early bee,<\/span>
an ermine's fur turning brown,<\/span>
an effusive gushing of butterflies<\/span>
gold finches and flycatchers,<\/span>
 <\/span>
two seasons exist in equilibrium<\/span>
the rest is fusion.<\/span>
