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
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)
