Run, Rabbit
Will you tell them about silence.
How foxholes echo through
the muted damp of your throat,
for you too, are burrows
you too will tell them
of your travels inside.
How the brook far beyond
your Grandmother’s house
is where you want to lay
your face, your hands.
You want to drown,
but only enough to explain
the definition of an echo
and the foxes, and the fish,
and the warrens in your heart
they have written their
hushed letters, too.

I love the senses throughout this write, it gave me a mixture of fear, urgency and anxiety throughout reading, rabbits don't make much noise but they will run for their lives when they're being hunted by something or someone, I felt that gives us the underbelly of anxiety and everything that's possibly lying beneath it, almost like saying i'm nearly giving up with everything but yet it screams i'm not done and i'm going to keep running and going.
