When the daemon of a person is lost
that person will wander through trackless wastes.

If she sweeps her house and prays diligently,
It may be
that seven new spirits
will come and take up residence with her
and there will be dancing
and a turning
and a new fire may be kindled.
Inspired by Luke 11:25 and the loss of my beloved Siamese cate

giraffe comes to the dinner party
rabbit in the moon
shark flies through night sky
to devour dancers in the cage
white tiger leaps to cover my eyes
what kind of song is this?

It is the soaring
The arched back
Weightless

You must have chaos inside you
To give birth to a dancing star

Dancing
Star
Alive reaching
To speak to guide

The chaos inside
Everything all at once

The arched back
Sound of heels on a marble floor in a big quiet room
Filled with art

Huge external sound of the *****
A ticket
Inside

To get lost
Found
All at once
   The table
     The glassware
         The cocktail
The landscape
   The love
       The company
The clothes
    The beautiful shape
        The taught and soft skin
The text

Can’t contain

Everything all at once
The arched back
    Flying

The flight is worth the fall.
