Poetry: & rabbits to rescue them

I know it is out of season, but maybe we need a bit of out of season poetry to combat this heat wave in Minn. Here is a revised poem that I originally wrote for a poetry class last April. It is also where this blogs previous name was contrived from. 

I might as well include the blogs previous header photo in this post. It seems fitting.

& rabbits to rescue them

erasing tracks
unwilling
with today’s falling snow-petals.
they know human eyes 

disguise, 
to
settle down after them,

counting full moons from bushes
with every step-- existence
bound to toes, 
crossing our yards with snowshoes.
give them a sign,

black ice blades & rabbits
to rescue them,
slice through,  beg God
in the yard, , ,
grooves on roofs build anthills,

            fresh snow settles, fills in.
