another “reject” as it were from the collaborative work with  Quirk’n It

we call it “circling the well”

this devoted dance

in which all paths

point to the gap.

.

we want to be loved

for who we “are”

some true self

supposedly

.

fabricated

in the midst of

the rest of us

is “all.”

.

we touch the tiles

and read them

when we can

mapping our approach

.

to the heart.

The urn is empty –

perhaps the strongest clue

that our dancing fills it.
