Black Rabbit

You’re my dark, he says
My cold, my marrow
The hills are covered in blood
He says
Run quick, rabbit, run quick

You’re my heels, he says
My strength, my muscle
He gave them all sharp teeth
He says
Go hunt, he told them, go hunt

You’re my bright, he says
My barbed wire, my senseless
They all got filled with hate
He says
They’re coming, soon, they’re coming

You’re my ears, he says
My echoes, my shaking
That shadow’s coming fast
He says
That smoke, ash is where it comes from

You’re my heart, he says
My pulse, my racing
And he pointed to the source
He says
Soon black rabbit, soon it will be bursting
