Conc

out-foxed

There are moments when you are
ambling along in your thirsty automobile
and try as much as you might, your trembling
eyes are out-foxed by the sun and the snow.

It’s as if the two, often never considered
in the same breath, decided to sign a peculiar treaty
for just the day to cause both
sheer terror and beauty, in equal amount.
