Groundhum

Saltwater mouth and the sound of rabbitstwisting below brambles         this earth is humming.                moon drenched         groundhum        the sugar scentedsplit flesh of fallen fruit pulping between heelbone and earth                my hair tangled in branches like honey-soaked        rabbits race into the thrumming darknessis anyone else capable of hearing        this hum I swear is telling me something essentialtelling me a real true story:        first you were there and now hereagain you were there and now here again        again        maybe you're onlya broken trapline rolling below saltwater to the edge of the plums        maybe there is no there                maybe the rabbits are drinking saltwater now        maybe the only place you can settleis here        here is tangled expanse is rabbits is moon is a humming is never been but remember

                that one time you asked me if I really thought anyone does this                If I honestly thought someone would do this for me                                and I am starting to worry yes maybe yes
