FRIGHTENED RABBIT
Far from
the electric floor
Removed from the red meat market
I look for a fire door
An escape from the drums and barking
Bereft of all social charms
I’m struck dumb by the hand of fear
I’ve fallen into the corner’s arms
Same way that I’ve done for years
I’m trapped in a collapsing building
Come find me now, we’ll hideout
We’ll speak in our secret tongues
Will you come back to my corner? Spent too long alone tonight
Would you come and brighten my corner? A lit torch to the woodpile high…
