Tales Of Brave U Bunny*

A big blue fish treading water wants to bite on your fingers, but you want to take it with you and throw it on the grill…

And you see U Bunny’s body, sitting framed beneath the cactus. And her footprints make you follow to see what you can see…

And when your fingers try to catch her, she sticks you with the cactus, carving deep green ripples in the tissues of your mind.

*adapted from “Tales Of Brave Ulysses” by Cream.

U Bunny = University Bunny.

  1. Tim, I love how you weave music and imagery together — this post feels like a dream sequence unfolding. The way you adapted Tales of Brave Ulysses adds such depth, carrying that mix of myth and surreal vision. Your words remind me how songs can become living poems, reshaped and reimagined in unexpected ways!!!

    • Thank you for your wonderful comment, Rebecca. I’m happy you picked up on the mix of myth and surreal vision.

  2. I love that photo of the green rush ripples in the water. That was a fantastic catch! I don’t remember that particular song by Cream from their Disraeli Gears album, but those were some interesting times back then, for sure.

    • Disraeli Gears is a great album. “Tales of Brave Ulysses” has always been one of my favorite songs on that album. Thanks, Lavinia.
