Wild Blood

Each new day the dust and frenzy are more hard to contain

It’s clear I’ll need that cowhand after all -irreverent as he is

And leather, and spurs of solid silver, and who knows how many inches of rope

This will cost me

Damned thoroughbred

Sweatshine

Who could decry humidity on hardwood floors

The delight my footsteps find in it 

Reminding me the date square on the calendar grants invitation

To bear my skin today

Shoulders and toes, midriff maybe 

I laugh and pirouette at the thought 

Each degree of my foot’s spin lingers longer

Home on hardwood floors
