Rabbits - Advance Base

Woke up late in a fog

Took a pill walked the dog

Down Levon onto Birch

Heard the sound of the organ

Inside the church

Floated on down to Vine

We did a hundred times

Felt the leash pulling hard

Towards a family

Of rabbits in your old yard

The last that I heard

You’d settled down

In South Bend

& married a girl

Whose folks own the bar

That you tend

Up above village square

Saw some birds huddled there

Chirping on power lines

They seemed happy

Just to be with their own kind

The last that I heard

You’d settled down

In South Bend

& married a girl

Whose folks own the bar

That you tend

& you’d had a baby

Maybe by now

You’ve had ten

But I want to see you again

In the park there’s a pine

With your name next to mine

& the heart that you carved

Still surrounds us

I feel it there always
