Black Rabbits

No black rabbits here
No early warning call
The death toll like a lottery jackpot fall

And the circus lights blind in blurry eyes
Not born to run with engine and diesel

Claws on stone are torn
But I lose every part
I fall less eloquent palomino heart

I give you everything in a clumsy verse
I give you everything tripping over verb

I gallop rings round you till
The pads of my paws bled and
Till I was sick and giddy in the head

Too you I offer hoof and nail and hair
And cut off my limbs to fit in your care
