The Tree, The house, The dancing elvis.

[InaneCathode]

The tree, the house, the dancing elvis:

 

 

I frolic through the snow.

It never snows.

 

I sleep under the tree.

Its needles never move.

 

I live near the house

There are no doors.

 

Near my house, something odd

A dancing elvis.

 

Day and night

His hips gyrate

 

Someone comes near!

Who is she?

 

She picks me up

Carrys me out of this land

 

Her house has doors

She lets me in

 

She shows me her closet

I show her my world

 

We kiss under a tree

Its needles wave in the wind

 

She meets a guy

She shows him her whole world

 

She throws me back

Like a fish into water

 

My world has no water

My world has no wind

 

My world has plastic trees

Plastic houses

 

I watch the dancing elvis

Nailed to the wall

 

His hips have stopped moving

My heart has too

 

She let me taste the outside

I showed her my world

 

Just me and my tree

My house and the snow

The invisible limits

And the dancing elvis.

 

 

Interperate that! Gimme some feedback

I like this stanza particularily. Interesting poem, I love the broken up drama. Very emotional....the only thign I didn't have a liking for was the my heart has stopped too line....I think it coudl be metaphorically present through the elvis stopping his dancing or soemthing...just don;t state the obvious. Lol I don;t knwo what I'm talking about, sorry...it's very good.
