Fox Music

 


Photoshop Manipulation By Julien Tabet


Fox,
you take the high notes
and I'll take the low.
Where the song will take us,
we don't yet know.

We humans have caused
a planet-full of
inclement weather.
Teach us a song of harmony
that we can sing together.

Remind us we are only one
of earth's many creatures.
We will be your students,
and you, our teachers.

We can learn again
from you how to belong,
and join in altogether
 singing an earthlings' song.






This reminds me what it felt like as a kid, when adults would tickle us into helplessness, thinking we were enjoying it because we were laughing, but it felt like too much. Fox giggles are adorable though.

  2. "Fox, / you take the high notes / and I'll take the low./ Where the song will take us, / we don't yet know." Indeed we don't, and that journey is so vital.

  3. "when adults would tickle us into helplessness" ... "Fox giggles are adorable though." I love your footnote as much as your poem.

  4. I really liked the overarching conceit of a song, of singing, the promise of harmony, to inspire and work towards in hope. May it be so!

  5. Love the opening lines, who knows where those notes will lead.

    There is a fox alert near where I walk. they think it may be rabid.

    1. It's just wonderful. The rhyme, the sentiment and the footnotes too :-) Now I'm going to google what fox giggles sound like!

  9. Yes, we should just sit with the fox and be silent. let it teach us without our failed input.
