interpretive dance

changing enmity deliberately softly

loosening up that hold

corporeality learns distance only

with time

as long companions measured

by endless journeys walk onward

imagine the directive

of unto one another

just a sleeping dog at your feet

light through the window

a rough night ride that had you letting go

of the dark habituation

within that re experience of wakefulness

inhaling an incoming tide

walking away

all wonder anonymous

dance unnamed

unforgotten and preferably

outside of category

silence

words, wards and wyrds

in quiet minds remembering

turn for the gathering loop only

when the paisley is

awkwardly shining

well before the divergent disaster

blows full sail

found within myself without you

happily

put alone contented in my world

where we all belong to ourselves

without loss in the name of love

or hatred

the outer Hebrides petals

a blackness adjacent to

dusty beamfall in forest air

where pan flute

stomach strings

tail hair, tree and cat gut howling bow and dance

where the skins of rhyme and rhythm are beaten

sans reason

overseen by dragons numerous

we of pearlescent liquid lights unseen

escaping the hunger in a pig's eye

for swine leading more lemmings off the cliff

in the banishments of nothingness

neither light nor dark

Madonna or car park hooker

priestess nor witch

but the beloved born of a mystery machine
