Again she gave him the feast of a warm bird to slake his appetite grown fierce by dancing.
And he gave her a crown of tangled feather and winter's thorns to replace her lost crown of ice. For now the love they both carried for each other had begun to thaw their dancing place. So they curled, tired to dreaming from three nights of passionate revelry, around each other, wrapped in love and russet fur.
Wonderful. More please!
ReplyDeleteI am thinking that this is the end of the story. But also that there might be more and perhaps it will be a book or an eBook or a calendar.
ReplyDeleteAnd also I was wondering what they are dancing to, and have decided that probably it is Sigur Ros
I love foxes, so obviously I am enjoying this story.
ReplyDeleteI find it so great and inspiring that the colours of the landscape echo the story and the characters. I think you just gave me one of the sparks I was hoping for. Thank you!
This is lovely, Jackie!
ReplyDeleteI love the way they are curled up together in your drawing. Interesting juxtaposition of a male fox and female lover against the Japanese kitsune stories. (http://foxlily.com/2010/04/fox-maiden-by-susan-seddon-boulet/)
