T.Hughes- The Thought Fox

In this poem, Ted Hughes seems to be comparing his writing to a fox.

The first time I read the poem, I honestly thought he was just describing the motions of a fox, until I got to the end where he says "the page is printed"

I had to go back and read it a few times, and I picked up on lines like


And this blank page where my fingers move. 

Through the window I see no star


This gives me a visual of someone attempting to write, but having writers block.... (I.e. the blank page) 

The way he describes the motions of the fox is very strong, and you can almost visualize the motions of the fox...


But honestly. I don't understand the purpose of the poem...like exactly what he's trying to say...beats me!
