The rabbit’s foot
.
Her pale grey bunny rabbit
slippers, now grotesquely
deformed by his size twelve
feet, were all that was left
of their relationship.
But, it wasn’t until he lay
on the floor and reached for
the slipper which had found
its way beneath the bed, that
he saw the rabbit’s squished,
tormented, lopsided face and
knew it was his fault.
