At dusk
Start-stop-start-stop
Tender greens await
—
Ears up!
Twitch, munch, twitch
Watch, wait
—
Memories of Hazel, Fiver, and Bigwig
The wars of warrens
Distant fields, sly foxes
—
Tense, freeze, sense
A mad dash to hedgerows
Hop, Hop, Leap
The long night
Shadows under Orion’s gaze
Dancing with moonlight
—
Soft light returns
Garden’s greenery breaks the fast
At dawn
