locket

dancing into view

like fourth dimensional poetry 

bright eyes beaming 

as though a dream i haven't had yet just followed me into the room 


sweetness on a swivel 

our congregation keels in a pirouette 

toppling over and into the movement; 

impossible agility that I'm trying to crystallize into memories to keep


our roots entwine, matching symbols deciphering synthesis

i am dreaming i can keep this story 

held closely to my breast, 

feeding it ambrosia so we might once again cavort within my mind


it all feels a bit unwieldy 

for i've lost and gained vast significance in too few blinks of the eye

though hope might find a spectrum 

that would glow before my sight


we were raucous and 

we were golden and

though we twisted away,

my thoughts return
