They Know The Steps, Choreographies Poem by Mary Angela Douglas
They Know The Steps, Choreographies
they know the steps, choreographies
but feeling from the world is fled
I sometimes think
not as in former days
walking with You by green waters-
the stage is filled to the brim-
but the gestures fall away
and I can't bear, can you? -
this accumulation of unscripted light
but grieve
over these too-clouded scenes-
