rabbit hiding in the bushes
scowling at the wood
waiting for the wind to settle
and Spring to be on her way

 rabbit unwhite,
brown, gray, the color of leftover snow
able to hang close to the brush
to charge out and away
with hidden knowledge of traffic
patterns

 this being is close to the ground
but muscled enough to scatter soil and seed
in her wake
