the clever fox

one day whilst dreaming
i encountered a fox in the woods
whose right i was missing
“does it hurt?” i asked him
“yes,” came his reply–
“but you must sacrifice to grow.”

“what must I sacrifice?” I asked
“–and to whom?”

“You must offer up yourself,”
the fox said gravely,
“and by yourself be made whole.”
