Unlucky Rabbit

river rushing over me
painted charcoal & coral
can’t pick the words up
arctic fresher describe
in powdered notebooks close collide
in view of it all
in obtuse carnival smash
in cauliflower dusted rose
in scratches on arms
in rushing red river
in sleep disguised as calm
in every cluttered heart
in the middle of the cellar

i fell over…

river rushing over me
don’t leave a voicemail
can’t pick the words up
just hold my hand
