the year of

 the year of

black
moss
lizard

white
metal
rabbit

met within
some
ring

the lizard
was struck

by rabbits
hind legs

mechanized
air-compressed
hind
metal legs

well
he fell
apart
to earth

and so
softly

the moss
then pressed
down
then fouled
 up
mechanics

rabbit springs
rolled
over
and round

like boiled
eggs
been
spun

strange sound
soon
dampened

odd vibration
drawn
through earth

then!

 fresh
 feeling!

 felt
so deep it --
turned

this 
felt like
     feeling --
   sensation

soon all
would be
laid out
over moss
over stone
over

moss
lizard
earth
rabbit

white metal
what remains

soft coils

delicate
spirals

embed
there
embedded
all year


shiny
woven metals

against
lush darkness
yet
again
gain
ain
in
n
