Life, fleet like a rabbits foot

dashing across the downs

feather light, barely touching the ground,

a slight ripple

through the air

 marks its passing

 

Fever, fleet like a rabbits foot

dashes down the spine

ripples through the liver

burrows in your spleen,

lost in the warren

of your intestines

a slight ripple

through the air

 marks it passing

 

Death, fleet like a rabbits foot

whispers ear to ear

caught looks hooked

to hook

Fighting moments

thrashing bodies

quick hot and gone

to another

 

Fleet like a rabbits foot

our moments

our moment

Fleet like a rabbits foot

n

gone
