13 | Lucky Bunny

Wriggle your nose and twiddle your toes

Father tell me about lucky bunnies born on the 13th

Lucky number 13 they say

He was born on a Saturday; just missed the Friday cut off.

He squirmed around in her arms like a frightened kit.

Alert

Twitching

Fluid and flowing as water elementals

Favored soul

His heart quick

The world so sharp around him, but he would skip through it

Without a care

A lucky bunny born on the 13th can have no cares

Nothing phased him.

Daring and bounding through life’s twists and turns

Deer in the headlights couldn’t stop him

Wending over winding roads

fast like a tornado

Skipping hills

Galloping along with dragons and tigers in tow

The tiger screams couldn’t damper him

No, he was bravado incarnate

Every 13th day a blessing.

That day this lucky Bunny reversed the curse

Unlucky numbers don’t exist to one so unabashed

No curse could ever set in

Because when you’re a lucky bunny born on a 13th day

there is no such thing as bad luck.
