#23 - My Rabbit’s Shadow Looks Like a Hand

by Rhys Hughes

My Rabbit’s Shadow Looks Like a Hand

80 pages

Published June 2021

My Rabbit’s shadow
looks like a hand
that has contorted itself in order
to cast the shadow
of a rabbit on the wall—
a rabbit that looks just like
the shadow of a hand
contorted to enable the casting
of the shadow of a
rabbit on the wall…

I yearn for a friend
to distract my mind
from this recursion
or else to help me enjoy it—
a tropical woman
her shadow merging with mine
on the moonlit stage
of life as we peer
out of this ramshackle hutch
called the world
