Bunny Hops


A break
A walk in the rain

Foray away from urban streets
Swish swish of heels

Cars fwhooom and mist goes by
I say hi
Mist says bye

Onto grass the rabbit goes
Ice seeps into my toes
A deliciously cold dew drop kiss

Beanie hot on forehead
Trees and leaves high overhead

Brick house lined street
Houses set back from the street
Far from my feet
Longing to enter, to retreat

A field? Institutional house stops me.
Is this for me? A part of my tuition fees?

Sarah Lawrence trash cans murmur, yes please visit me
Dusk approaching, light beckoning

Forward or back?
There is no reprieve
Must go on
See what has not been seen

Circle Complete
Campus regularities can be seen
Head clear, thoughts bring me
To familiarity

Green leaves
A shield from the rain
A shiver in the air
I should be returning

Abandoning the desolate site of education
On this dreary Sunday afternoon
I return to private study
