Ellipses

Gracefully moving in ellipses

Over and under

Searching and seeking

Endlessly

Brushing lightly

Circling widely

Across the floor

To it all, you pour

Carefully tracing the ellipses

Round and around

Stretching, contracting

What connects between two beings

Make it so to see through thee

Skirting over veneer

As if it could all disappear

Yet swiftly swallowing the tethers

For which nobody really cared

Amidst the precise measures

Evaporating into the air

In the space of the arcs

That are formed momentarily

Lingers the exhale

Where you left all

Thoughts of no avail

All that was left

Was the sensation of motion

Of twisting and turning

Of reaching, of yearning

And the ellipses can be seen

In the air, on the ground

To which way they lean

Can be felt just like sound

Gracefully moving in ellipses

Over and under

Searching and seeking

What connects between two beings

Brushing lightly

Circling widely

Across the floor

To it all, you pour
