of making marbled paper
creating designs with dyes of different colors
floating in psychedelic swirls 
placing the plain white sheet atop the water 
before peeling it away like a temporary tattoo

climbed to the top of magnificent mountains
explored sites from antiquity
though my favorite is simply 
dancing among the flowers
under the same moon and stars we both see
no matter where in the mundane world 
either of us happens to be
