we shall go to the forest
and spend a day
clothed in its broken darkness
enjoying its woody fragrance.
the light will filter down
spotlighting falling leaves
as we lie on our blanket
petting cuddly white,
brown and
black rabbits,
feeding them
celery and carrots
while we eat
our sandwiches
and look up
through the trees
in wait of parting clouds
which will share the blue sky.
