Spellbound
I fall into a hare’s being
she opens herself for me.
she opens herself for me.
I slip in, climb
the staircase of her ribs,
the staircase of her ribs,
and settle close to her
sparking, twitching heart.
sparking, twitching heart.
Scents, earthy and herbal
wrap my head in a meadow scarf.
wrap my head in a meadow scarf.
Long ears twist to catch sound,
vibrations, high and low.
vibrations, high and low.
I can hear earthworms tunnel lazily,
as bird’s scribble notes on sky,
as bird’s scribble notes on sky,
taste the green of Spring in grass,
as sunshine soaks into my fur.
as sunshine soaks into my fur.
I look out through shining
amber eyes, see field and hedge
amber eyes, see field and hedge
blur as my legs hurl
over scrub and heather,
over scrub and heather,
lungs gulp in clear air as
I flow, bounding the furrows.
I flow, bounding the furrows.
to lie at last under an opal moon
still spellbound.
still spellbound.
