March Hares

They’re getting ready for the boxing matches
where the winners will take all.
Afterwards, they’ll stand still
for a moment
and sniff the air
to check all is safe
and then they’re ready to roll
so climb on board
feel the wind
in your hair
the witching hour has arrived at last
and soon all will be transformed,
renewed,
remade
as they spring
forward
in any shape
they choose.
It’s like magic.
