I've seen this room and I've walked this floor

He’s reaching through the silence

Notes played, muted, gorgeous

A ghost

Humming a serenade

For the rabbit

Whose heart pounds

One thousand times a minute

In exuberance at

This rhythm,

This melody.

Its fuzzy eyes closing

In death, or sleep,

Glory be all

In the beauty of this music

Frustrated lies unknot and release

I am unleashed

The rabbit’s shiny eyes gather

As it flees the silence

That ensues

The sun rises

And my eyes stretch

To combat the fatigue
