She follows the white rabbit,
His buttons undone by the breeze.
The clock is broken,
But the rabbit runs as if he were late.
🐇
White teacups dance, a mouse in a hat,
Strawberry jam spills riddles on toast.
She laughs.
Logic is too far away from this land.
☕️
The cards make an entrance,
Roses painted in beautiful red,
She chooses the white ones, instead.
🌹
Quiet, like snow surprising in early May,
The rabbit waits, moving his tail,
Until she meets him again.
