Fox Skull

There it was
pale shine calling
from the field ditch 
waiting to be found
And so I stooped
climbed down
through tangled hawthorn
blackberry and rose
cut arm and hand
left a little blood
pulled it free
held it in my palm
held it
and wondered
how something 
so small and fine
could hold a Fox
and all it was
