The wild rabbit

By -
The wild rabbit and the water rat
wait for me 
wait -
before the rustle into shadows,
the under.

I am silent.
The see-through me hovers in
that secret country plain
where small creatures pause -
leaving fear in the earth 
for five of my heartbeats.

Why are you rushing, really?
When human footsteps 
scare away the living soft,
the underbelly
of what you call
good for your soul
on other days.

This morning I saw seagulls

I am far from the sea Circling the night - The only certain answer To a day of Question.  LJ Ireton 2023
