Hat Rabbits

Manifest Destiny Abracadabra

Hat Rabbits

By Tyler Lucas Mobley 

Goldie Hawn stirs a rainbow leafs against sky 

animate and dance in mind, providence of spread

legs journey west, stumble into a mine shaft to

fall for 37 years. Anomalous dynamics, deemed a

weightless pong vollied between hemispheres to

emerge in volcanic eruption, then appear on the

evening news. Feather voice found me splashing 

in a bath, ‘Hemingway’ says the lady of 1946, with

palindrome restored come visions against the grain.

Wrinkled faces clock time, expressions instruct 

wavering compass, solemn salute raised totem of 

fortune flapping drawers. When her straps hit the

water it all boiled off, on the side of the tub lay a

pile of purple jelly, should toast ever wish to spread

my honor, that gives you opera voice till it clears,

patience a virtue, a lion’s stretch under blazing sun. 

Trying On Life

You never know when gifts arrive,

Trying On Life

Holster ready, all you did was

ask. If put another way, I

might’ve just let it pass. Your 

key question unlocks response.  

Not taken lightly words rush to 

life relating to everything at once. 

Did grandmother tell you what was

said? Eyes blossom full of sky. 

Did we know then what we know

now? Birds sing the story of our

lives, rendezvous on approach

play your part to alert me to mine. 

Our moment bubble burst into 

existence, crochet time yarns and

salutes, saddled grins remind us this

whole world is a changing place. 

Sifting Lizards

Titled Castaneda, benefits of losing one’s mind.

Sifting Lizards

Informace, at risk of excluding the 

rest, finger raised distinguishing this

from that, a process arrives at Hiroshima. 

Potent void, out of nothing a knock

on your door, just dropping by, a light

like never before pours definitive unto.  

Caressed by world bosom ease away a 

breath, casting sky hooked a cloud life 

upon merry go round, spurs spontaneity.  

Your stride upright brighter than the sun, 

ocean eyes focus in as horizon lion shakes 

it’s mane, settling just where you belong.
