The Cube

I saw <a title="TwilightCafé: the cube" href="http://twilightcafe.blogs.com/twilightcafe/2003/11/the_cube.html">TwilightCafé: the cube</a> ages ago, and I did do the exercise in my head. Didn't write it down. Bad me. You can see my entry below, but you should try it yourself before you read mine. The desert Sandy. Pretty quiet. More sky than sand. And a lone palm tree halfway up a dune. My cube About 5 feet high, and made of cast-iron pipes, with joints at the corners. The pipes were originally black, but the paint is peeling off in parts to reveal a silver finish. It looks used. So my cube is a frame. The cube is about 10 metres away from my palm tree. The ladder An aluminium self-standing affair. The ladder starts off lying on the ground next to the cube. The ladder can be opened up and is maybe 8 or 9 feet high. I can climb up the ladder a little way and see the cube from above. A horse It's chestnut with a blonde mane. The horse is just standing between the cube and the palm tree. I am about the same height as the horse. I hold it's head in my hands and look into it's eyes. The horse is pretty much ignoring the ladder and the cube. The storm It's more of a prelude. The sky is dark and clouds are slowly forming. It doesn't rain. Occasional thunder and some activity in the clouds, but no lightning strikes. The horse doesn't pay much attention to the storm. Flowers There are a few dotted around in clumps of two or three. They are white flowers, like big daisies. There are little tufts of green around them too. Want to know <a href="http://twilightcafe.blogs.com/twilightcafe/2003/11/the_cube_interp.html">what it means</a>? Do <a title="TwilightCafé: the cube" href="http://twilightcafe.blogs.com/twilightcafe/2003/11/the_cube.html">try it yourself</a> first. I'm just wondering what the palm tree is doing there.
