Young mischief in a red coat,
Journeying far to myth
And back from the veil
Of spiritual mist.
Young quiet in a sly mind,
Spreading gossip to the trees
And the palace pillars,
Howling slander to the breeze.
Young whisper in a devil’s ear,
Raising ghouls from their graves
And fire from its place
To burn the shackles of slaves.
A/N: I've always liked the fact that foxes are associated with mischief, because mischief can mean so many different things. It can range from doing small things in order to urge a larger change to planning a revolution. In my mind, it doesn't have to be a negative thing. This poem was built on that concept. The fox in this poem can mean anything. Whether a messenger, a real revolutionary, or a sign from above. I'd love to hear your interpretations in the comments.
