I swear it’s true when I first
got there they were dancing
moving-spinning wild and
dangerous

but I blinked, I
snapped the shutter
and then I tripped, I
shuddered

in the shocking lurch,
the jolt of planet leaning,
glowing wild and
dancing

they masquerade, faking stillness as they
dance inside & call down storms of stars
and floods and fires wild and
spinning

so I wait, just wait and practice every
moment passing, just keeping my
eyes open to catch them out, and
dancing

wild and dangerous
