***ous Sun
a rabbit I buried five days earlier
and said sorry to one million times
i carried it and buried it next to my dead
cat
and dog
and dog
and bunny
i said sorry
and cried
and dug
a
hole
through the rock hard dirt
and i cried because there were no flowers around -
it was too dried up and i had put flowers on the other graves
and i said i was sorry again
i said sorry a lot
i never quit saying sorry
and i stunk because rabbit death was
on my clothes,
in my hair
it clung to me
and my brother told me i killed it
and i didnt i didnt id dint i didnt i didn tidn
i promisripromisepipromise promise i promise
i didnt kill you,
i swear
i'm so sorry
i sat on the back porch
and did my english homework
and wrote about sensory imagery
but all i could think
was the smell of rabbit death
and that's not what my tracher wanted
so i wrote about flowers i didn't really smell,
and a sun that was life-giving
but it was really death-giving
and it killed those goddamn flowers
i'll never forgive it
