that my mind
is
a ballroom for ghosts
where threadbare netting hosts
my peripheral space
and I hear music
with my feet.
 |
| anita pelayo rivera |
is now recorded in light
with the help of friends
 |
| anita pelayo rivera les dames d'abord |
who have continued the dance after me
 |
| anita pelayo rivera les dames d'abord |
but who've also had to turn off the music
temporarily.
 |
| anita pelayo rivera les dames d'abord |
But the dance moves on
and
what I do for love
is being choreographed
on a stage of a rare
and luminous timeline.

So whether in the past or present tense
