The Dance 
 
"The dance starts— 
 
Limbs gild with time 
As the moss climbs 
Reverent praise falls from my lips 
Now my leg goes to kip 
 
My eyes are purple and shut 
The thorns prick and now cuts 
Gold light damps and scry 
Their eyes hateful and pries 
 
My voice is lilted as my smile gilded 
The world is disfavored and tilted 
My vision begins to go dark 
And the moss starts climbing stark 
 
The dance begins again—"
