I know it cold, the scene in the woods,
the grey-toned sky, and snow—
the sudden clearing in the underbrush
through which a fox now steps, her auburn brush
a-ziggety-zagging, as if she would
erase her trail, though her tracks in the snow
are already lost in the layers of snow
now spackling the hemlocks, the woodrush,
the blackthorn and bracken, the half-seen woods,
the snow-brushed woods.
