What do foxes do when their gloves get wet?




Tiny foxes, all red and white; some black
Lined up neat, side by side
paws overhead, 
waiting their turn
to don velvet gloves
in nighttime prayer . . .

(foxes know how to say goodnight to their Mother)

. . . as dusk settles in, reaching high makes dismay
Soggy gloves, 
too wet for warmth,
too limp to cover,
now drooping in rain.

What do foxes do when their gloves get wet?
