Tragic rabbit, a painting

the caked ears green like rolled corn

the black forehead painting at the stars

a painting on my wall, alone.

As rabbits are

and aren't fat red cheek,

all art, trembling nose,

a habbit hard to break as not.

You too can be a Tragic rabbit; green

and red your back, blue your manily

little chest. but if youre ever goaded

into being one beware the true flesh it

will knock you off your tragic horse

and break your tragic colors like a

ghost breaks marble; your wounds will heal

so quickly water

will be jealous

rabbits on white paper painted

outgrow all charms aginst their breeding

wild; and their rolled corn ears became horns

so watch out if the tragic life feels fine-caught in that rabbit trap all colors look like sunlights swords, and sicorrs like the living lord
