Trace the tracks, the paths
of rabbits in shoes,
winter-running across
the dogless land.
They are overconfident of their wealth
and the system’s inabilities
to protect the cross-hairs,
even when the shrill tongue,
like a siren sound,
boomerangs off the cliffs
to stand as a Confessor
bearing witness to all
for all.
Behold! the snow
remains bloodless,
though never clean
within our sights.
