推 hecati:that is one reason why I do/don't like cleaning up... 09/13 09:56
Tidying up the house.
Between rounds of carrying recycling paper back
and moving broken-down unused electronics forth,
I spy a chess set,
and make room for it in a dusty cabinet.
I remove some BB guns, a pair of sais,
three knives, a cat, a pikachu,
and some literary trophy awards.
Then I see it, in front of the bingo set,
beside the lion hat: a white bunny rabbit.
Standing, white and fluffy, its neck kept warm
by a lush red scarf, its tummy showcasing
a large pink heart----
it reminds me of its giver.
In the coffee shop that day,
among freezing air conditioning and even more annoying music,
I sat in the corner, maybe writing a poem,
when she arrived and canceled out
that damn melody with her musical charm.
She sat down beside me and pulled out a rabbit,
a white, fluffy, standing bunny rabbit,
its neck kept warm by a muffler red,
a great pink heart on its abdomen.
I bought it for my sister today, she said, but
she doesn't want it, so now it's yours.
And she gave it to me as a gift wholly
gratuitous; she, who marveled
at my weapons arsenal, who ridiculed me
in my lion hat, who never held back
her love-filled heart, who took joy in
my lush red scarf;
she gave it to me that day. And now
its tilted head stares up at me
with its black dot eyes, as if to ask,
Where is my giver now?
