Vasant Abaji Dahake

The Hare Chase

Staves batter my dreams
and I wake up,
wiping oaths from my face.

So this ripped-apart morning
and the scheming night before
and the turncoat day before it:

they watch, stone-eyed,
as I’m roasted, a hare on a spit.

THE HARE CHASE

The Hare Chase

Staves batter my dreams
and I wake up,
wiping oaths from my face.

So this ripped-apart morning
and the scheming night before
and the turncoat day before it:

they watch, stone-eyed,
as I’m roasted, a hare on a spit.
