Sharper

Sharper

here she stands
with the dew
drenched grass
painting sparkles on
her roughed
up feet

I wouldn’t call it
standing, though, for
she’s moving all about
the place lost
in her own
world

each connected
movement expresses
some aspect of
her emotion
or more likely something
deeper than that

if you were watching
every fluctuation in
her movement

you never would have
known the
things she can
truly understand
without a thought

I don’t think
the way she
sweetly stepped
could reveal the
place where her
mind resides


though her feet
were planted in the shimmering
grass, something
had taken away
her head

she could still think
clearly
but in a far of manner
thinking only of the things
that don’t get much thought

but yes, her mind,
sharper than the blades of
grass, had gone
and her dancing
told me it
wasn’t coming back
