(H) 38 x (W) 87 x (D) 3 cm
By the road, in Koorabup’s domain, lies a red fox, felled by a car's disdain.
Lifeless, it rests, a twist of fate unkind; a sentinel of colonisation, now resigned.
Bush flies hum their triumphant song. Around this foreigner, once feared strong.
Its demise brings temporal reprieve. In this indigenous land, its shadow cast.
