| rechargeable LED pet collar |
Left out in my yard for squirrels and birds
My weak flashlight-torch combined with my
Ignorance (silver fox are very different from grey fox)
Last night my cat, Cecil, and I watched for
More bats and fireflies in almost-complete darkness
While in my lap, I extinguished his collar
Silent minutes passed until Cecil slowly turned to
Stare below-back-down-behind the lawn-chair we were in
My light revealed a nose-to-tail-black fox (with just a slight dusting of silver-ash)
She dashed under my neighbor's fence without learning if there were any snacks left out
There were not. Not that night.
