Rabbit
I am the rabbit's heart
tympanic fast flutter
tempestuous
thudding
ebb and flow so quick
I dissolve
Rabbit
You are the rabbit's head
quiet caution
with timid soft
paw
waiting for Mr. McGregor
to leave the garden
Carrot
I will hold it as ransom
but give it away as
soon as you ask
while I wait
with my heart in my
stomach
Carrot
held firmly between your
teeth
lovely green tops
the sweetness stolen
from the earths
quiet
den
your soft smirk
will not give you away.
