Is that Easter I see in the distance?
Or is it just a pale brown hill
in the shape of an egg?
Small figures that may be rabbits
make their way up the hill,
which looks like chocolate –
though it is hard to explain
why chocolate would not melt
in the Mediterranean heat
There seem to be trees on the hill,
and two or three rabbits
seem to be climbing the trees,
which is not the sort of behaviour
one would expect of rabbits
unless someone is trying
to kill them
Nothing is moving now
and I am losing interest:
it is getting dark
and I have a busy weekend ahead
I expect the rabbits will disappear
into holes in the ground
and, for all I know, never be seen again
unless they pop up unexpectedly
out of a hat
two or three days later
You never can tell with rabbits
