a rabbit in a bow-tie and party hat
laughs at a departing alligator
people holding umbrellas float over the stage
drowning the kittens as an adult act of mercy
people in yellow raincoats
floating under pink umbrellas
set against clouds
the woodcut sheep now resemble Georgia
a plain chair topped by a salmon-fish rung
a flock of sheep already dyed
twenty-two pigs come singing on the bare ground
“Simple Gifts” in operatic voice
a woodcut of a full stream laughing through a birch forest
