Old Rabbits

Drinking dandelion-and-burdock

til you drop

fighting over the does

punting your second burrow

over the first swallow

the first frost

 

Playing reynard-roulette

with the yearling foxes

out all night

winding up the hares

“big ears – can't dig”

Countless children

 

A sweetheart in every meadow

 

Old rabbits die hard
