Proper little vixen!
We name her Mademoiselle Zoro
‘cos she’s so...daring
robbing
our suburban bin
setting it a clatter
in a ca-ca-cacophony of...
startled
as the houselights come suddenly on
she freezes...to the spot
half real half shadow
laughs at our oh so
tame humanness
singing to her as we always do:
“Wild thing...you make my heart sing! ”
“Humans! ”
(you can hear her thinking)
“...daft as brushes....the naked two of them...”
deftly she
gives herself
back to the darkness
knowing she has
tamed us.
