bunny hop

it is new year

for those who follow moons

for time

and these keepers are many

and in asia

and in places of diaspora, they remember

rabbit

now,

swift and camouflaged

yet hunted down

with or without impunity

x

each animal in

the zodiac

is vulnerable

yet each has qualities

to remember

and apply

x

the rabbit is

all harmonious muscle

on the outside

and inside

and on the outside and the inside

it can hear

and smell

and learn much through its whiskers

x

bless the rabbits

x

yes, they can overrun—the

stuff of a horror movie;

rabbit kill

(term for an event)

like deer

might be decided

so that everything

humans design for

a post-eden balance could

be done

(achieved

kill, design, and balance)

x

happy new year, rabbits

and to the dragons

that will bear you

in asia

the pacific rim

new york and san francisco

and so many, many places

all within your range

because you

are magic

x

you dwell

inside the earth,

taking care of beasts;

bring one creature

out

each year,

this year we know

the rabbit

x

bless the rabbits

notes (3)

yesterday began the time and the celebration of the lunar new year

there is a horror movie from the 1970s called night of the lepus

the bunny hop is, well, it’s something; you may look it up
