The rabbits flee, burrowing under
In escape of a bloody red blunder
Through dirt with no sight
They use whiskers for light
Clawed paws above rumbling like thunder

Listening keenly, a doe and a buck
Inside of the warren away they tuck
Overlooked in low light
Rattled death’s appetite
Between them eight feet with no luck

&quot;I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater.&quot; -SN
