Elvis Powys?






And I thought Elvis was a Cardi
but realised last night
as I navigated the fairground ride,
the corkscrew aka the A44
that he wasn't Elvis Preseli after all
'Elvis Powys'
He was everywhere then,
working in the chip shop in Rhayader
singing 'Blue Christmas' on the bridge at Builth.  
I wasn't lonesome last night because I could
feel his presence on the dashboard
'Viva Libanus'
 'The Wonder of You' looking up at Pen y Fan
There was 'a little less conversation' going through Merthyr
and then it was 'in the Ghetto'
this 'hound dog'
was back in the land of
'Suspicious Minds'.
