//------------------------------// // Treehouse // Story: Pony Verse: A Collaborative Collection of Pony Poetry // by darf //------------------------------// Treehouse They gifted me a living house, with hedgerows Out the windows and a pile of thoughts inside All night, I hear it breathing life It creaks, shivering out the breezes Bleeding darkness out into the hollowed Out interiors as the living sap once would It is uncertain what to do with me It has taken all I own as its But I am still held back. Not unwanted But unwelcome yet. No place found I try. I have lived inside a house Where dead stones pave the floor And draw your heat. Here, grass forms The streets and is not thought as weeds But as a microcosm living as its own small world Frail against the greatness, yes But holding so much more inside.
