What Are The Steps?
The sweeping circles of two birds
locked within some mating ritual,
accompanying this dance
is the nearby gnarled tree,
their own home, with
arms outstretched crooked,
all twisted and curled.
This ensemble is much like
the something extra hidden
behind a smile, and the hand
that gently reaches out for more.
All are secret dances
I do not know the steps to.
Some I regret not knowing
more than others.
