"Young Rabbit, Dead Rabbit" by Emerson Greene

My most trusted loves were guns
Set to take all I had inside.
It’s such a shame their pride and age
Made this boy want a kiss from suicide.
I live like and breathe like midday -
Need warmth to stay alive,
Two times ten and then I’m a star,
For ’til nineteen’s the wasteland of life.

One old rabbit in a field,
Protected by more old,
Some grey, and some cotton-field white.
One young rabbit in a field
In a wolf’s mouth, and the old ask,
“How did it die?”

We’re green and we’re stupid,
We’re pests and a mess.
We’ll be the apples of your eyes
When we hit double X.
You’d love us all then,
But we won’t be around,
For how can we live
When we’re slammed to the ground?

A baker’s dozen,
A green Lincoln,
A pair of black gloves.
One for sweetness,
One for riches,
One for spilled blood.

Anything less,
And you are wrong.
