Cadenza

 THE KNEES
 of this proud woman
are bone.
The elbows of this proud woman are bone.
The summer-white stars and the winter-white stars never stop circling around this proud woman.
The bones of this proud woman answer the vibrations of the stars.
In summer the stars speak deep thoughts In the winter the stars repeat summer speeches.
The knees of this proud woman know these thoughts and know these speeches of the summer and winter stars.
