First, you most be open
and alert as
a fox,
recognising the right moment
when you come upon it.
You must act quickly.
Next, you draw your camera,
aim it lightly as
a paw placed upon the ground.
And in a sudden spasm of
awe and terror, you must
force the shutter:
click! click! click!
You have captured the moment
like the jaws of a fox
around a chicken's neck:
no need to shake it,
no need
to break it.
The tender press
of a hunter, the gentle
surrender of prey.
Never has murder
been so perfect.
But move on, go!
You must act quickly.
