Oh Little Fox 

Could wildly;             could wilder.

Little radar in the burrow

and the underbrush and the

empty rabbit tunnel. Little

concierge in the blackberries,

in the new south

behind the field

house,

in the brambles. Little ache

in the inventory

folding the forest

in half.

Allison Titus is the author of the chapbook Instructions From the Narwhal (Bateau Press, 2007), the book of poems Sum of Every Lost Ship (CSU, 2010) and the novel The Arsonist's Favorite Song Has Nothing To Do With Fire (forthcoming from Etruscan Press). She was awarded a poetry fellowship from the NEA, and is co-editor of the poetry journal Handsome.
