Wild Hearts.
Crouching alone and always alert,
left to fend for themselves fox cubs
know well how to wait, ferns skirting
the cave provide comfort when rubbed
with motherly scents, but how long
this time she is in returning.
Their eyes show a weariness, wrong
vibes fill the air and pulsate, learning
quickly that danger nears they shiver
and cautiously listen again.
We will not know their fate, but rivers
of spilt fox-blood instil fear, reigns
of terrorised hunting will ever
be bred into their psyche, when red
tails bristle at man-smell, wild hearts
wary tread, and dig deeper beds.

This is sooooo beautiful , touching , socially relevant and sensitive. Wild hearts if preserved well and nurtured may help us maintain an ecological balance that is so much needed ....

Indeed their survival bells ring continuously to keep them alive. Beautiful creatures that are so abused. Well written piece.

A journey through the mind of the pursued - the viewpoint of the wonderful and wily fox penned with passion and poignance. :)

what a refreshing change of subject where everybody's so focused on ourselves - and you bring in the creatures of our earth and so lovingly and with such wonder...absolutely adore the poem and the very idea, Fay...Poets must speak for nature and its creatures and you've done that so well in this poem.
