    Collateral Rabbits

    Graham Barnhart

    The spotting tower rises
    like a sundial in a plain
    of punctured buses

    rise skyward in a reek
    of gun oil they no longer smell
    on themselves.

The skin was as smooth and as cold as the December sun outside, and as warm as regret and shame.
