Going Gypsy

Of course you are all going
to the Gypsy Camp to dance
with Heather and Darryl --

so, to prepare for any wishing
to dance with me ...

"I know that my movements follow no set rules or form,

but that is because you are too close, hand upon my arm
to see how carefully I touch certain stones on the parquet floor.

All is chaos -- jumbled god-dreams and silent song;
yet as I believe there is a pattern hidden there,
I follow."

a Charita-Fitzgerald written for Em
