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.
