The Pavane


"The Pavane" 

Autumn leaves
whistle nonchalantly
along the left-behind

paths of serendipity
hesitantly touch fingers
lightly for a while, tipping

lost in the wastelands
winter beckons 
love unconditionally

magic listens
and arrives
in the laps go-lightly

of racing hares
tossed salad years
and marshmallow dreams

of servile tortoise
pleasantville sown seams
stitching singers sewing

covers over pea-soup ethereal
conquered territory unseen
the unconquered all-knowing, unknowing 

misty consommé seas 
the spinning reals 
seasoning dreams

like sails 
stitching the wind 
of evergreen the forests

tightly held in 
the in-between 
dells, we dwell subservient

free becomes the 
shield held over
motto lux vitae

foot to pedal 
watching you
reading me 

dancing the slow Pavane
fingers lightly touching
faces veiled behind screens

elaborate 
clothing
autumn leaves

winter arrives 
peacock moves aside
it parts the sees, in parts

lost in the wastelands
winter beckons 
love unconditionally

(LadyLabyrinth / 2022)

Autumn. 
"The leaves are all falling, 
and they're falling
like they're falling 
in love with the ground."

"The first breath of autumn 
was in the air, a prodigal feeling, 
a feeling of wanting, taking, 
and keeping,  before it is too late." 


Winter. 
"Nothing burns like the cold."

"Winter is coming."






The Pavane/ Pavan.
A stately court processional dance where Elizabethan couples paraded around the hall lightly touching fingers. Pavane means peacock and the name of the dance derives from the sight of the trains of the women's gowns trailing across the floor like a peacock's tail.
