To dance in a loving ring

(for Hilary Ayer Fowler) 

 

 
Stop
 
and pattern becomes
 
feet like drops of
 
purposive water
 
their plash deliberate tone
 
to accompany their each
 
measure
 
 
Stop
 
and edge becomes
 
sharply rounded leading
 
what is the after of our
 
going before
 
not bound to arms but
 
mastered
 
 
Step
 
and song becomes
 
sings itself through figure
 
of arms and feet
 
so lastly we know
 
with delight overtaking caught
 
movement
 
 
the dance of realised pattern
 
on the live edge
 
of fitting song
