POETRY

Your Light is a Dancer

A poem of memory and longing

“Dancers”, by Franz Von Stuck (1863–1928), Public Domain

Trail of a memory,
strand of fading light,
navigated with a heart
that remembers.

Summermoon,
your light is a dancer,
animated by

her every sway,
her every word, and

all those times her eyes
have ever smiled at me.
