Always words dance their own
tune It is like being hard of hearing I cannot place reading
as innate but I can touch reading with writing as poetry slides in
slightly sidestepping expected meter and verse Writing ALWAYS wants to
frolic to dance circles around squares Writing feels like rhythm, like a
SQUARE dance within a CIRCLE do-si-do
turn to your partner a ̶ e and spin her around
e ̶ a do-si-do b ̶ d and back around to
d ̶ b mix up and stir up p ̶ q and dip on down to
q ̶ p stand & salute i ̶ j turn and greet
j ̶ i Skip to my Lou & round up the two Dance is the answer
and the sky is blue Bow to your partner then tie your shoe
Swing 'round the circle & twirl your skirt then curtsey and say |
