Why Do I Cry, Little Fox?

Speak to me soft, little fox. 

Don’t go yet.  

Don’t whisper goodbye 

To the sky 

When you haven’t even realized 

It was your footprints cast in muddy infinites 

All around the world 

Everywhere 

This whole time. 

You aren’t a burden, little fox. 

Murmur your name 

Remember your place 

The ocean breath 

The salty snare 

Know that you don’t have to say 

A single word 

And we will still care about you 

For the foreseeable perpetuity of our beating hearts and beyond. 

Take your time, little fox. 

It’s okay 

It’s fine 

It’s ok 

It is 

Not 

Broken

You are

Not 

Broken.

Dear heart, little fox, my day, I love you. 

My chest is a kalimba of unshed tears 

You are beautifully complete 

You are a wonder of existence 

Your button nose 

The tarnished sunrise 

The shades of yellow and orange 

And the palest snowlight 

Would miss you. 

Don’t go, little fox, stay with me here 

In the warm dew 

Beneath the blanket of our silken atmosphere, 

I beg.
