Dance of the Dam
It has been far too long cold
at the dam of this great galloping river
where tonight I have
stolen the villagers’ dancer
and set her ablaze
to amuse distracted chill
while I latch to the trailing smoke
and slowly
fade
away
to be warmed by the stillness
of a red coral reef
of a blue burning starfish
of an ancient whale harpooned & worn
all awash on the beach
in an all too familiar flurry of snow
&
re(dis)appear
in the snow
