Because I'm obsessed with fox people, and no one is replying to Hemlock (although that's probably my fault). Also: can kitsune lose the Game?
Cracked glass
The mirror knows what it’s seen
And weeps
At its own weakness
A kitsune’s fox-face
Too beautiful to bear
Hidden behind mundane human features
Silly thing
She hides her soul
Inside a silver ball
Not bothering to ask
If its heart can bear the burden
(Not bothering to ask
If it has a heart)
Blithely breaking mirrors
In a one-tailed dance
Through the world
(She’ll never earn another)

Not bothering to ask
If its heart can bear the burden
