Poem i’m contemplating to turn into a video for a multi media piece, although not sure how it could work yet. I’ll do the thinking you do the reading.
Human
In a house so derelict,
Roger sits and thinks about her.
Not only does she not exist but he feels
like a ghost everytime he sits there.
He sits in a turret
almost above the sky
Talking to himself
She’s far away, but he
always gives it a try.
Anna’s a tiny soul
Just below the ground
She’s grown up now
although she’s still not allowed.
To run
her home
Doesn’t exist
Doesn’t breathe
Oh Roger be a dear, don’t believe.
‘I’ll love you’ says Roger
so casually said, so beautifully read from his mouth.
Anna’s not crazy, she’d believe,
They drift, they float, over hills and then south.
She’s cheated though, he’s not even real.
To fall in love there, she can’t eat a meal.
And so she desends, again to her lair
Like a lost soul, like an unwanted prayer.
To run,
His home
Doesn’t exist
Doesn’t breathe
Leave oh Anna
Be a dear - don’t grieve.
