Legacies
By John Cannon

Stark still
we stare at each other,
neither saw the other approach,

a weathered old man
and a striking young fox.

Warmth blooms in my heart —
an instant chill in his.

Can my good intentions
prolong this precious moment?

No chance.

With riveting intensity
he scans,

With lightning speed

he’s gone.
