of a graceful dance
a spinning twisting
headlong flight a slow
motion three-bank shot
through the well-lit rotundas
of societies meeting places
glowing, held aloft by each
sudden, envious glance
when desire shrinks away
flying becomes falling
an artless drop into
the void isn’t as
gloriously fulfilling
as the floating
moment
is it
does your dream
call out for reality
when it’s ultimate
climax is a
marriage
to the
law
of
