The day awakes from sleep to the morrow,
lukewarm morning rising as it unfurls.
The neighbours come to visit - there's a crow
and a dog and a whole bunch of lil' squirrels.
Three fat cats roam around feeding off the sun
and a pigeon circles above my head -
but now they start to fly away and run,
because there comes a fox – hungry and red.
Its yellowish eyes are looking for preys,
but instead they will come to meet my own
and we shall stare down before parting ways -
the beast and I, both silent and alone.
Now all the animals can drop their guard,
in the peace of our edenic backyard.
