a girl, to portray a rabbit
a sweet thing, her charming bounciness,
munching greens, cabbages, carrots, radishes, clover
allowing the sky to pass over her
must not appear spooked
and stay soft.
but what if the rabbit girl is to be a fox in her dreams?
wanting to tear at raw prey with sharp teeth
claiming what she likes with haughty ways and no regard
a predator.
And who should stop her?
A mind is no place for tame behaviors
But for any wild wondering
dirty, loose, naive, weird, ethereal deliberating
Is allowed and expected
a planted tree to prune and reap
must be used up to finally be set free.
