2 December 2004 | Vol. 4, No. 4

from Shy Green Fields

The choreography is deliberate so we know where

to put our feet. What then, these intersections?


Your body is so literal: even unexpected, low, and

out, so sleepiness and sugar. Holy work. Rooted


in the parallels, rooted in the directions, faithfully

showing me how, in what city do you love your


work, that you love me too? Here. This heart.
