Origami Birds

sitting at the table making origami birds with empty foster labels untold are his words she floats onto the dance floor like the awakening of a dream a single stitch in time a moment in a need she turns her smile upon him a glimmer in the moon holds her hand out to him a hush falls on the room he folds the last seam on the wing the edge is good and tight they step onto the balcony sending origami birds to flight

I love everything about this poem. The sense of time, space, it has soundscape and a season between its lines. Nice.
