With Tile
Making my rounds the day after.
Below: a pyramid of kitchen tile; above,
rabbit at the top of a creosote pole,
stapled to it, a splinter through his foot.
What else to do but fetch him down.
Rabbit wrapped in soft towel,
rabbit & towel in box followed by
my lunch: cucumber, lettuce, carrot;
nice cool food for a 115° summer's day.
Home: rabbit to vet, takes out splinters
and sews rabbit up, good as new.
Ten days later, under a beautiful blue sky,
the first hint of fall blowing through,
he's bouncing and ready to hop.
Rabbit released under the very same spot,
where the twister had left him with tile.
Nature as with humans, you get a mix,
the good, the bad and the twisted.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
