No rhyme or reason to this music.

Indian dancing girls

do something with their hands

and men excuse themselves for being born.

Every toe goes tapping out craziness,

and ankle bells appear in the air.

 

A graceful movement

has arisen in the melody

of any old bawdy tune.

The shape of this wonder

transforms debris into ruby mines

from the lips of love.

We gaze at each other,

and remember, that not one of us

has ever left this symphony.

Not for a moment.

 

Our fingers are flying to catch up,

to unbutton the breast of this song.

A girl lets her hair down

and we start to clown about

suddenly shy and clumsy.

The Beloved has whispered

a poem of Herself in your heart,

and the tree of Her life

has gone swaying and mad

for the perfect hymn to sing.

 

love

 

eric
