Here’s a little piece that I wrote for EIMH: It’s about kitsune, foxes, in a Japanese context. Inari is a kami who’s most closely associated with foxes. Song in the story is sung by a kitsune in human form.... (this story has 7 characters that are kitsune.)
The foxes dance beneath the moon,
an August moon, a harvest moon,
Winter will be coming soon,
snow and wind and sleet.
The foxes dance the long, long night,
A shining night, a magic night,
Courtship blooms by pale moonlight
by nose and nip and sigh.
Inari smiles while foxes dance,
laughing dance, happy dance,
Kami blessing while foxes prance,
tail and ear and paw.
Oh, this is so lovely. I absolutely love the mental images. Thank You.
