Quick attempt at a dance poem

Wretch
that you are
watchman
of botched steps,
the dogged eyes-
down dancer: Where

is your con-
nection? Insecure,
your graces
effloresce
like gypsum.
Transgress

your trellis,
my delicate, with no
apologies. Palm
to palm, confess
our perigee
palpable. Let’s

be like straw-
berry plants: Arms
a stolon between us.
Once aerial, now
sink into this
ground, into
this beat.

Someday
wallflowers
may fall
at your feet.
