under the fox a rabbit,
run rabbit run
under float, the bottom of the boat,
then more water and
under river, an apple tree
under talk, more stars,
then holding hands
under fear, silence is a spoon
forgiveness lost, a root,
shame by name
under nothing, more,
everywhere just like sky
under a shoe, another shoe
then a mirror and
under a face, another you

For some reason, this reminds me of Robert Bly. Vivid images, direct yet holding under garments of emotion. I also like the music it makes when read aloud.
