alvin and pancake

tom's bunnies make a racket in the morning

they clatter less conscientiously 

since winter began

cold desert melancholy

waiting in the hutch

for their coats to whiten

what's the delay?

a deficit of parsnips?

in the brittle minutes before sun breaches

they grind foreteeth on the molding

trash is collected cement is mixed dachshunds defecate

alvin and pancake

haven't hopped for weeks

they amble sternly through cattails of memory

warm litters of memory

they chase carrot tops in the hardwood memories

of beneficent summer loam 

where dreams clatter 

and dust bunnies gather
