——— Another psychoanalysis break: the rabbit is still hope. Isiah might be doubt, and the #court which hanged him was faith. The hedge is the church, the #cramble is plaster saints, and the dunnock is a dunnock. Now back to your regular nonsense. ——— #vss365 #LandmarksVss

An artist might spy hazelnut blending into the mixed #mocha hues of ash #cramble; a scientist, cuniculus amongst the fraxinus detritus. Isiah sees only a rabbit, and looses his penultimate arrow. #LandmarksVss #vss365

Isiah's penultimate arrow quivers like a living thing as he draws back his bowstring. A shaft of ash #cramble, shaped by a spokeshave, fletched with goose feathers, whipped with #horse hair, it came from this land, from this farm, and it wants to return. #vss365 #LandmarksVss

Even in the shelter of the ancient hedge, raindrops gather and swell, running from leaf to twig, falling past redwing and yellowhammer to land with a soft #plop amidst the #cramble. But Isiah sees only prey: a flash of scut, a twitching ear. Fur means meat. #vss365 #LandmarksVss

Isiah has two arrows remaining; he always has two arrows remaining. When he nocks his penultimate arrow, the rabbit's keen ears hear the #scrape of wood on sinew echoing through three centuries. The dunnock only hears slaters creeping under #cramble. #vss365 #LandmarksVss

The rain has returned, bringing a chill and a sense of damp #foreboding which seeps into the rabbit's fur. Beneath the hedge, the dunnock skitters amongst #cramble, gobbling up slaters. Isiah approaches, bow in brawny hand. #vss365 #LandmarksVss

#Bramble entangle #cramble, a happy dangle of berry n apple. Once plenty, now barely a crumble. Mustn't grumble. Humble as custard, she tastes red juice off lips before he wipes with sleeve, and they run, wild as a forest to their den. A ghetto in the gateaux #vss365 #VSSLanmarks

Isiah sees the rain falling again, and abandons his hunt, trudging down the tumulus toward the hedge. He'll find #cramble there for the fire, and #brambles for his snap. He no longer hungers, nor does he feel the cold, but habits stick like catchweed. #LandmarksVss #vss365
