Notes About The Poem

Crossing



Why have you reversed your spins, 
unfolded moon, 
dancing widdershins 
across the bridge of noon?

Circle, circle, line and line 
make up a quarter: 
cross them, cross them now to shine 
from this day's starter. 

Sliding high against the night 
twists the snake's song. 
Again, again the crossing light 
returns to where we belong.
