Concern
...inspired by 'Encounter' by Czeslaw Milosz
The station wagon carried us through the misty morning.
A sudden flash betrayed the rabbit.
Its loping gait, gray to blend with the dawn,
the creature clipped the churning wheels as my companion pointed,
and was gone.
Now gone forever. A memory only, the man and the animal,
living in my dreams.
Where did they go?
Sound and sight consumed me.
Concern occupied my thoughts. We traveled on.
