We Are Rabbits

Three rabbits in our front yard.

One is so close I see his eyes move.
He is wary of my intentions.

In a world of unmistakable violence
he has a bite of lawn to eat.

Two ears twitch, turning toward
the most relevant information,

cats and cars, hysterical dogs.
His life turns on a blade of grass.

A dodging streak of white
who disappears into a garden

four doors down.
