Fox in a Tree Stump1 Judith Beveridge I gripped the branch and waited in a paddock that ran on over harder and harder earth. Leaving me with smoke and the stick to beat the fox, my uncle drove off. Terror barrel-rode through my stomach. I knew my uncle, his quick rabbit-skinning hands, his arms like dry river-beds dammed at the shoulders, his voice harsh, kelpie-cursing, would not understand if I let the fox run to the bush. Fox-hairs of dust sweated in my palms. I stood in the exhaust of leaves the short time it takes a tongue to reach into a hurting body and strike ashes. A twig2 snapped. The fox stood, coughing. The branch on its neck rang like a shot: a shot so loud it shook out a flock of galahs from their trees, cracked like a wave the buried sleep of rabbits. When my uncle came back, he threw the charred3 body into a ditch. I turned away kicking earth over the bloodspots of fire and prayed not to waken another animal from the wheat. I was nine years old. All my life I'd stuck close to my yelled name. I was a child praying for the dark each time the sun caught my uncle's eye.
