Completing Petru’s Challenge poem for December Casting Bricks (collaborative poetry) proved to be an immense delight! A deep fog set in this morning and this little dance ensued. Her words are in bold (half a quadrille) and my 22 follow. The title is in honor of the very fine artist who presented the challenge. Please stop by Petru’s beautiful site and browse around. Anyone who would care to join us at Casting Bricks to Attract Jade is heartily welcome!
Step! Two, three and again
step two! Now – turn around
and
voice receding –
centrifugal distant tracking
rhythm raises
drum beat
light deepening
Skip! A beat syncopate
the rhythm — cabriole
one-eighty —
centripetally returning
to
the pound, pound, pounding
in your breast –
clasp the dark
Tournant
