Last lessons of the dance instructor

1.

Head up, dears, the art is finding

art for art's sake 'mid the binding

tempo, tempo, all unwinding,

while you dance. Revolt, and fly.

Capture movement, Earth has tied you

to itself. Head up! Decide you

will not heed tunes that misguide you.

Let your motions tell you why.

Earth desires you. Find the sky.

2.

Back straight, now. Be queenly, kingly.

Though strength may be weakening we

cannot break, for menacingly

time devours you, if you yield.

Find the tempo, tempo folding,

pleasure those who are beholding.

Gravity is always scolding,

beauty, then, must be your shield -

center stage, your battlefield.

3.

Eyes inward - disregard the staring,

longing eyes, the soft despairing.

It is discipline's red herring,

ammunition made of pride.

Tempo, tempo, mem'ry beats it -

only giving in defeats it.

Lessons fade, but life repeats it:

find the music trapped inside.

Dance to love, to fly, to hide.

Fallen trees, for evermore.

(Inspired by Binsey Poplars by Gerard Manley Hopkins - specifically the line "after-comers cannot guess the beauty been")

Empty evenings,

lonely nights,

and plans to set

the world to rights.

Early mornings,

sunny days,

our dreams already

far away.

Desires, hopes and

unshed tears,

that are held close and,

so very dear

to those of us who

still remain,

as we were and

all the same.

Not yet wandering,

not yet lost,

not after-comers

who can’t spot

the beauty here,

once before,

fallen trees,

for evermore.

But saplings turn

to ancient wood,

Stability, safety,

All things good.

Before they are sent,

on their way,

or left to those

who cannot say,

that they are here,

as much as us,

so do not have

to earn our love.

In every form

our beauty is,

And our love is just

as much as this.

Every day and

every night

and every place,

out of sight

is theirs for now.

Until it’s gone,

For evermore.

P.S: This has nothing to do with anything I've ever posted here before (especially the previous post, which is the only other post I've got here at the moment). I don't know what this poem is, I just couldn't get the opening lines out of my head and had to try it to see where it went. I also couldn't get the line "after-comers cannot guess the beauty been" out of my head either and knew that something could come of it, maybe.

Hope you liked it. Em xx

Thanks to AstridContraMundum on AO3 whose series After-Comers Cannot Guess the Beauty Been introduced me to the Binsey Poplars poem.

It's Contagious

Itchy eyes, coughing, sneezing shortened breath, fatigue, and wheezing. Of all these symptoms I was clear (except, of course, for crippling fear).

Rush to Costco, start to hoard. Buy items I can ill-afford. Grab all the water (Crystal Geyser) & 16 pallets hand sanitizer

Events are canceled. Schools will close. Don't touch your face, your eyes, or nose I was locked inside; could not be safer. 'Til I was crushed by toilet paper

Poem: Into Your Waters

There is something about the ocean

Something about its deep blue

Something about the way it dances

And how it reminds me of you

The rising of the tides

The billowing of the waves

A wounded masterpiece

That I crave

Tell me why do you hide

The world that is flourishing

Beneath you

Your raging surface is so beautiful

I can only imagine to imagine

With every inch

Of my mind

What glorious wonders

You have buried in yourself

What glorious wonders

There are underneath

Tell me please

If I must be cautious

Tell me please

If I will not be able to handle

The shortness of breath

In my lungs

If I ever choose to

Plunge myself in

Into your waters

Talk awhile

Come talk awhile - the night is young,

and we are young,

and life is soft

around the edges.

Loose your tongue

and speak to me.

It isn't often, honestly,

we cross our separate hedges.

Well and good to sit and stare -

the pot's not going anywhere.

But it won't boil. Not while you're there.

Well and good to turn it up -

the tea bag's sitting in your cup.

My life is ordered:

Perfect, calm.

Its lines are drawn and walls are straight.

Each time my heart is broken down

I put the shell back in the crate.

It doesn't mend it,

Doesn't heal.

Come talk awhile - I've heard good things.

I've heard good things and done them, too.

The loneliness of floating leaves Everyone knows why I ended up here and why I feel this way Yet it feels empty as I watch the trees Closing my eyes like I need sleep Yet avoiding every day
