A Windowsill Drama

July 24, 2007

dodo_danser1.jpg

The legless ballerina,
dances in her dreams
trapped in an office window,
studied as it seems
by a likewise legless clerk
whose ship has gone berserk.

One stormy night it sank,
and left him stranded on a bank,
now frozen into plaster
he’s heading for disaster.

For a rendez-vous on a windowsill
can give lost people such a thrill
they’d lower their defence,
loose all track of sense,
and proceed, in a somewhat legless fashion,
to thread the floor of passion.

But lurking in the green,
a cowman, looking mean,
silently waits to see
the dance macabre bound to be.

    Oh, was it yours,
    this poem about the legless
    and the cowman without a horse ?
    In that case, I say “Yes,
    I´ll have still more faiblesse
    for this site, of course !
    😉

  3. Här hos mig är inte komännen lika illasinnade mot sina medmänniskor. Men lite aningslösa – de gillar att sprida gift på komaten.

    Här hos mig bildar de benlösa sina egna förtrupper. Smyger fram, nej skrider fram, i skogsbrynen, i svampskogarna och kring hembygdsgårdarna.
    Deras mål: att sidsteppa hela samhället i en barfotarevolution.
