DANCE POEMS


AFTER THE RAIN
Christopher Wheeldon


                                     Dark water
compass needle


                                     divining rod


                                     crucify




                        backwards


                                         lizard




                        radio tower


                        clock spine


                        bird neck


cormorant       metronome




astrolabe 
                        kite breath
moon hip eyes


                                compass-drawn


                       golem rain


                       crescent moon


                      
                       in crescendo 






to the air cobra
                                           aerial
                          scissor


clock
                         a tree or a silo










                        shadows
                                     align




alone


                        bronze


                        sleep




                        awake awaiting




mudra oval








                        embrace 
                                    sun
gaze                soft




                                    Halasana


humus-born
                                    dolor


drop                                                part





                                    above
             moon leap


                                    scion




                           slow into agony


                                    far                             stare






                                   rower


                                                                      horizon




                                    die-stamp




                          leveled
           


                                                                     swing
                                                                fall
                                                      upon 






                                                      rest
                                                arch    float




prow woman


          into waves


withstood




                                                today                 arraign
arise
                                                         afloat




                bridge                              east


                wing               south
