Some Dance to Remember

 Oh yes, I re

member


I re

member


Every

Time


And every time

It becomes easier

To blister it through

The coughing hearts

Of the men and women

Who gave birth

To a mirthless process


(((())))

I am the dance

But not the dancer

I am the dancer who forgets

The dance


I forget on purpose

Like that can work

Like I'm not just burying it

Deeper

Like I’m not digging this hole

For me


I forget the dance

I forget the choreographer

I forget the choreography


I become the danced.


(for Joy Harjo)
