There’s a fox four feet away from me, behind chain-link lost in the night.
There’s a car we both hear on a bridge far away with a man inside at the wheel.
There’s a coyote as well, between us and the car, a shape pacing a path on the hill…
Lit by the moon that casts a shadow on me from a fox that sits four feet away.
And there’s a faint dot that passes over us all, tied to earth by weight of the world.
And inside is a man like the one in the car on a bridge between us and the sky...
Looking down at the car the coyote and me with a fox that’s just four feet away.
There's a fence in-between like a wall I can't see, by beast and by God by mankind.
