Rabbit and Rose

beaded rabbit

untied

if it cannot be untied
it is not a knot
same you cannot be
in bad luck

either you are in luck
or you are not
bad things happen when
you are not in luck

now you can be in your knots
unlucky or not
no matter what
love tangles

but if it can be tied
in such a way so as to later
come together
if it ever comes apart

& not break & not bunch
& not need be cut
you are in luck
it is a knot
