SPLIT SIDES
Merce Cunningham



1.

                        Black sun
                        silver sun


sheaves                        circle curl



            jagged                                    propel

                                    tilt

                        reverse                        table

                                    planar

bolt
                        swivel

                                                popping
                                                bean
                                                hopper

            scythe arms
                                    tiller

            plank
                                    pacer            apace


            spun
                        diagonal
                                                lemniscates

conjoin
                                                undersphere


                        radio
                             tower
                                                ear to the ground

            salamander
                        falling
                        temple
                        tempo
                                                reentry
                        tribunal
                                                payer

one who preys

                                    pivot
                                                pale

            whirl
                                    foot            cut


            bend

                                    dark drop

2.

Chiaroscuro
                                    ice bevel

walker                                    topple

                        burden-bearer


            thrice
                                    Janus
            broken
                                    furl

            plaint hop

seethed
                                    leg wall

                                    construct
            plane points
                        sky breach


running triangle
                                    pulled

tiller

                        electron

English

                                                ghost thump

            hello
                        escape velocity

martial
            faun                                    hangéd
                                                fool

Flamenco
            stutter                                    shear
                                                water


among spun
                        spider                        song





            clipper                        lift



monolith

                        brooked
                                    person
                                                over

leader

                        together

parallel
                                    the whole grid

clatters from the
                        dark remainder


                                                shadows
