Goodbye Whisper

In the vet's office.
My bunny, sedated.
They are coming soon with the second shot.

She had a good life. I hope she finds peace.
I'm going to miss her so much.
I love you, Whisper. I'm sorry.

I hope that she dreams of hopping and running. I hope she dreams of a body that won't betray her.

I love you, Whisper.

  • winter coming

    winter's coming on fast — 
    better chop enough wood. 

    pluck the last fruits of the harvest — 
    then say goodnight to the garden, 
    resting under a blanket of leaves and love.
