DANCE POEMS

PETER MARTINS
“THE WALTZ PROJECT” (EXCERPT)


Magnet figure

   limp

pendulum
   wing

globe

 yellow clock

   crab

   minaret

 track

slide  sweeper

Sisyphus over

 hail




 tango sock


child’s drain bird

 sleep

  without

   coy
   return

malade   ant

 bubble  compass

 cross—




red windmill  to tear
   drop



over  wick flame

 staff
  launch

   fairy bird

 cube

 breathe

watcher  go
  ball

polis  match
days  over
