White Rabbit Nights
Dreamed of a white rabbit.
The next day she left me.
Apologetically.
Her love turned to frozen indifference.
Dreamed of a white rabbit.
It beckoned me to follow its lead
As it jumped from canyon cliff.
I stayed, unwilling to chase liars.
Watched as ravens soared hot air words
And the river below washed the land.
Dreamed of a white rabbit.
The next day she returned,
Only to deliver divorce papers,
Discuss custody of books I’d paid for.
Dreamed of a white rabbit.
I fought her, claimed ownership of poetry
But ceded my treasured volume
Of a thousand dream meanings.
Crossed out my name,
Erased her from my life.
