Perhaps we are fascinated by foxes because we want to go back to our feral origins? As children we are little 'foxes' until "de-freed" by society programming. A fascinating haiku!
I've been fortunate that Dru Marland created an artwork inspired by my haiku, and that Karen's mother has creating a painting from my fox haiku, which hangs in our hall, ready for the coming winter, and Christmas! :-)
