HOLY FAMILY WITH THREE HARES Poem by Pauline Stainer

HOLY FAMILY WITH THREE HARES



after Dürer
You might catch them
in a nocturnal landscape
on their flight into Egypt,
the moon dropping
thin flexible mirrors.

Or in a wild strawberry place,
wychelms coming
softly into leaf
through dispensation
of mist

the child lighter
than sugar-lift etching,
but still suckling
with the energy
of an icon.
