The twitching of a rabbit’s nose

Peeking out with eyes still squinting

From winters sleep

Ears like soldiers standing to attention

Rotating to catch the slightest stir

In dawn’s awakening

How the belly must moan after still dark months.

 

Yet the senses are alert

Keen as compass needle

With twitching nose drawing in

The lure of longing

Its all about the timing

Would Eliot see it that way

But ‘staying put’ offers no attraction

Needs must meet the morn

Step out, we say,

Risk the new day.
