Frequent Trips to the Carrot TrayA Poem by Poe Reddabout my cousen's wedding some time ago, didn't think i was gonna post it cause i don't really like it.Bewedded bears in ocean-blue ballroom begin the dance in a fancy muse abused white bubbles pound the floor quietly they wait out the song, then listen along the lions rely on thier sisters to lead in the mad party dancefloor kaleidascope prance the birds at the round table get up to leave and, relieved, the horses fly first to the carrot tray while pigs pick at the cake papa bear guzzles coffee, and momma the air in drowing-blue dress smiles but is sad takes the bride-bear's invitation to serve her once more the steps sway as air-music interrupts the atmosphere carries the stale joy of the night fighting the urge to flee from the feeling I, the grey sky, am pressed to the glass asked by bears what time it is now when they may leave to finnish their dream the birds pass under, cursing the couple and planning a blood-themed wedding of their own the horses never leave the cake-scented ballroom they never fall prey to music played they never once in all that long night (in all that short life) (bemoaning the wife) (wishing the mechanical music away) left the dark side of the carrot tray. © 2012 Poe Redd |
