lyrics

Amphibrach Dance

Remember, first falling, and falling,
from lofty, from distant, from dizzy
cliff’s slim ledge, yes falling, through clear, not
blue-burned air, yet falling, still falling
to soft sand, to hard sea, to longing
for longing, and much less: the broken,
the thunky, the dancing we each did,
the heels down, then toes up, then heels down,
the rocking, the forward and, yes, back—
its measure so awkward, the sad dance
we each did, remember, remember?
