Blue Rabbit

The blue rabbit has asked for a favour

Under the strawberry moon

He whispered it in my ear

With notes of vanilla 

The tip of his tongue dripping blue ink 

Rivers through the canals of my ear

Telling me a secret

Telling me a story

With ribbons and bows wrapped in untouched hair

Braiding of innocence 

Weaving the seeds of doubt

Double Dutch on the cool concrete

Birdie birdie in the sky

Gee I’m glad I’ve gotten high

Birdie birdie in the sky

Answer oh me oh my

Little girlie footprints

Left in the chalky sand

Say goodbye to mother

Kiss her once on the right 

And twice on the left

Don’t wake her from her sleep

Let her rest

Blue rabbit don’t giggle

Blue rabbit don’t laugh

Just take my hand and lead me

To the place beyond the bushes

Deep into the pines

Where sun light can’t bathe us

Showered in needles

Clean as a whistle

That’s what my grandmother once said

Clean as a whistle as she wrapped me in my towel

Blue rabbit slow down

Don’t hop too fast

The hole in the ground

Caving in on itself

Giving up on her soil

Rooted in soul

Blue rabbit I’m scared

Blue rabbit don’t laugh

Where will we go

Who will I know

Is it worth the fall

A glass bottle

From my fathers cabinet

Crystal from his mother

Filled with purple dreams

Drink it up

At last

Alice

Alive you are

That's not my name

Blue rabbit are you okay

Blue rabbit how am I? 

Dizzy and dozing 

A push 

Down we go

Manic laughter from the mouth of mine

A tongue that licks at swollen gums

Eyes like sun rock

Black and cold

Blue rabbit hold my hand

Blue rabbit where are you 

Up at the top

Silly little girl

Throwing dirt on my dress

A stained virgin white

Burying me in myself

In all my naivety

Swallowing my pride

And the cool of the earth

Blue rabbit you lied

You tricked me again

Just tell them I love them

And I’ll miss them so

I know it’s my fault

I would have chosen to jump

Just to feel the high

Of going lower

So so low

Blue rabbit asked me a favour 

Whispered in my ear

Asked me to save myself

Not now Blue Rabbit

Let me rest
