Two rabbits
a fat squirrel
are
grazing
in the garden.
The rabbit next
to the white fence
half hidden
feints a freeze
but kicks instead
at the squirrels head
who surprised
skedaddles
up the mulberry tree.
Two rabbits now.
The doe,
though smaller,
emboldened,
comes away from
the fence
into new grass
the best grass I guess.
She eating
pauses
for a long minute
stares down the buck
one almond eye at a time.
