Adroitness
remits
what curiosity
requires
Professing
allegiance
through tundra
and fire
The rabbits
two exits
protecting
its lair
Ensuring
tomorrow
when trapped
— au contraire

It is always good to have a plan B. Nicely written Kurt
Thanks. I always sit near the door.
Most welcome that is a good idea
Nicely said. It touches on the idea of preparedness and the necessity of maintaining hope for the future, even when faced with adversity.
Amen, thanks.
You're so welcome.
Kurt, I resonate with the idea that curiosity demands skill…that survival requires more than intention. The rabbits image feels like a metaphor for living with awareness, always knowing the exits. That tension between exploration and protection feels real. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Again, very insightful.
Thank you! Great poem, Kurt.
