Two Bunnies Beneath a Cold Gray Sky

Thomas W Case



I don't want to go on a
gentle journey,
from convoluted to
convalescence.
I quit drinking again;
found love in
the psych ward.
She's my broken-winged
angel.
So much pain behind that
sweet smile.
She's drinking again,
and I can't fix her.
It hurts, like an arrow
through the stomach.

I have a rabbit that comes
to my yard.
She lies in the same
spot every day.
So much so, that
she has worn down a
place for herself--the surrounding
grass grows around her.
She feels safe.
I feed her spinach, and my
brother sings her
show tunes.
That's what we get
for having a drama
teacher for a father.
Thanks, Dad.

It's been an unseasonably
cold April.
I feel sorry for Harvey;
That's her name, thanks
again Dad.
I talk to her softly.
"Hi, baby--what are you doing?
Do you want to come in?"
She doesn't answer.  I'm sober.
I want to take care of her...
Both of them...
My two little bunnies.
It's cold, and the wind is
blowing hard,
beneath a mean grey sky.

    this was like a voyage of discovery .. impossible to pre-empt but all the while knowing something great was only just a line away or round the next corner .. Neville

    If only mankind really understood what he meant when he said, have dominion.

      Exactly, and that we should be kind to our beasts. Thank you.

        Oh baby do you know what it's worth?
        We'll make heaven a place on earth.
