Blueprint for the Dance
Twin strands
melt on every turn
around each other
tango precisely
each choreographed step
a history of
trial and error
routines gathered
on the way
by hairy ancestors
imitating coarse gestures
ancient steps
a waltz away
from time
Treetops
green plains
all winding back
to deep watery places
where the dance of life
trembles
and spins from tail
to bobbing head
around itself
from toes to tossing hair
with such delight
in each other
almost forgotten
in the mystery of beginnings
