A rabbit lies, staring at the ceiling, Staring at the night sky. All around it are star-shaped flowers Growing, blossoming, burning near the moon-shaped rocks Whilst small asteroids of rain Bombard its still form And as the bunny looks up, It sees large clumps of flower-like stars, Pebble-shaped moons and As the clouds cloud over the picture, the whiskered creature sees another rabbit, Another bunny, lying in the sky-ground Lying, watching, (waiting), And as the sky and earth collide, and as the picture becomes misty, There is confusion, Earth mingled with sky, Sky mingled with earth All surrounded by patchy white And in a discreet corner of nothingness is an opening. An exit. An opening-exit. And bunny considers it Walks-hops towards it. Both bunnies together as one. But the rabbit turns away Goes back through the clouds and confusion Till it lies in a field Surrounded by flower-shaped flowers And rock-shaped rocks Gone are the clouds and the night sky. Only normalness remains and a memory...... by Shred | |||
