dreaded-daylight-stranded
wall-smothered, s u f f o c a t e d
confined
concrete
mouse-discrete — a-coffined
before belonged
to night
released in glass
and glass ————-- and glass
drinking crystal sparkling glass
feet afloat — winged
sing, singed
bouncing brilliant
hands are chandeliers
hair and shaded eyes
singing, one-two-three
see before tomorrow
sing
swinging back and forth
released by night —
afloat and winged
dread your dawns
and shattered chandeliers

Björn Rudbergs writings 
Holy shitake. This is flipping amazing!!! I LOVE it, to the max. Grrr. This makes me feel all growly and in the mood to write. 🙂 LOL. Thanks for the mood-bump. 🙂
Sweet! Such a fiery response to the music video 😀
Definitely feel the need to break away from everything and the thrill of finally breaking though the way it was portrayed in the video.
Amazing write, Bjorn. 🙂
You capture the sense of containment and desire to be free very well in word and form.
Ooo…I love your closing lines and the way that you saw the chandeliers in the hands…the breaks and brief lines are befitting of the tone of the video. I enjoyed your view on this, Bjorn. 🙂
Mixing elementals to be afloat and singed at the same time! But I saw it too–the confined “freedom”–and you sharpened the edges into a gem.
Just gorgeous. I love, love the playing with sing/singed. Fantastic.
Love all the glass sprinkled through this.
I agree with Kerry. It is like a butterfly bouncing against the glass of a bell jar. Killer ending!!
You channeled the lyrics beautifully …. one, two, three!
Wow, such a great video, and incisive words to make light and glass dance and shatter.
Oh …. I can hardly talk here. Just read your words and watched the video in entirety. Had never read your poem – just joined dVerse in Dec 2015 and had never heard of this song or seen the video. Misfit (my new poem) is uncannily and eerily similar. Wow!
I thought so too… it could have been written for that prompt (which wasn’t on dVerse)…
