As I follow with my eyes a dotted trail of footprints
I found that a rabbit had been killed
Continuing straight is the fox, I am told
Feet together pause feet together pause goes the rabbit
‘Feet together pause’ and ‘continuing straight’ intersected
and
Had become ‘continuing straight’
There was no blood anywhere
‘Feet together pause’ didn’t even put up a fight
I am barefoot
I removed my shoes and removed my socks
It was all laid bare
You watch this
When I removed my shoes and socks
There was hair growing on my toes
I was bleeding between the toes
You watch this too
I write
You watch this too
I think I would like to show this to you
You write too
I watch this
A man with such beautiful handwriting
I think
What a beautiful
man, men, women
You finish writing and put it away
With no intention of showing it to me
You put on your shoes
And set out to cross the snowy field
I remain here
If ‘feet together pause’ in a snowy field
Is destined to get caught by ‘continuing straight’
This must be referring to a
Morning
Where the light spreads
