Words dancing naked
Across a line
Choreographing on emptiness,
Pirouetting nude across
Cold white spaces,
Balancing graceful particulars
On perspectival pivots:
Strong bare words
Leaping into places
Of immortal longings,
Weaving and bending
Into forms converging,
Creating images where
Metaphor meets motion
Then, suddenly stopping:
Gliding gracefully away
Leaving me alone
Balancing over pits
Of white emptiness:
Watching words hung
In high air,
Forming mortal universals
Of magical things
My imagination inhabits.
