I dreamt he was alive
And well. With
Still a hint of a
Hunter’s smile
In shiny eyes.
He laughed and
Joked, but
Never recognised me.
Not the little girl
Who held his hand
While he lay dying.
The moors pressed
Against the windows
And white linen
Hurt my eyes.
But the last thing
I remember is
The bugle call
They played
At his funeral,
“The fox has got away.”
