Exhausted slumber,
in deepest Lamentation,
enveloped by my own skin,
Blood Memory of her
seeps in
Dancestry transforms
as art knocks
at my door
I am reminded by
her spirited moves that,
Every Soul is a Circus
Life cycles
in contractions and
slow releases
of breath
Beaming
clavicles reach up to
behold morning's sunrise
As golden rays
tirelessly
leap upon the stage
of a brand new season,
Appalachian Spring
Rescued by the
graceful universe of
contemporary
dance
An ode to Martha Graham, her book ,
"Blood Memory" and
choreographed dances,
"Lamentation"
"Every Soul is a Circus"and
"Appalachian Spring"
With hopes to see Martha Graham Dance Company perform again in NYC
