Along a voiceless trail
are the shadows of birds
who once flew over it,
and embedded in the dirt
the tracks a fox left
one full moon’s night
when its tail curled up
behind it with a spark
at the tip of each hair.
Language doesn’t help us
find a way back
to them, only grants
the means to ask where
they have gone, and whether
any other trail leads there.
