flying fingers knitting
Can someone analyze the poem "Knock-Knock" for me?
Vague horrors freeze the spines of flies
Who come into the parlor. Who's there?
A hoo-doo voodoo strangler, that's who;
Or an old beggar woman with a witch's cackle
Knitting a shroud; or maybe a squatting
Yogi, crossed heart and navel. meditating murder;
Or maybe a dancing Shiva twitching its feasted legs;
Or maybe a fist walking toward him on its fingers;
Or maybe nothing, nothing but the shadow
Of his own fear congealed into a hunched fang
And what do the flies symbolize?
In this poem, the parlor is perceived through the eyes of fear; it is place where uneasiness is being felt. The fear that is taking place in this poem is the fear of evil/scary/dangerous people.
Flies can represent a person who fells small and puny against great fear.
