Documented a Day Before It Occurred

1 Running through Rabbit Alley like a dog,
2 death is a destination. 
3 (Who dies?)
4
5 Every trace of the rabbit soon disappears.
6 The path drops off upon endless wet bricks ahead. 
7 (Where are we going?)
8
9 There, the hare again in the most telling mornings of fog
10 evokes surprise and awe. 
11 (Why do I care?)
12
13 Like a rabbit running through the thick
14 to find the unknown path ahead 
15 (What is fear?) 
16
17 running through time, around each rag and bone,
18 squinting to see salvation 
19 (Where are we?)
20
21 always just-past-your-nose near,
22 disappearing and reappearing – 
23 (What is this all about?)
24
25 we are as real as the electrons of our thoughts
26 running through the heather.
27 (Who died?)
