the feet in white tabi go
like this, like this, like this
passionate visual song
against the wood floor

watch the finesse
the missteps the recoveries
the grace and sweat
of human form

every day
rich
any day
beautiful
this day
worth attention
pay attention!

the sweet ache of bruised knees
a blistered foot
you’re not dead yet
your body happy
to feel surprise
of physical art

the multi-moon mosaic
of eucalyptus leaves
green yellow red crescents
pressed into dark earth

the smell of hot cornbread
in a small car in the rain

a grown girl dresses a little girl
in a yukata
rust-colored
with white rabbits
