In Praise of Bodies
That can fly
through winter skies.
That can take off and land
without wings. Hurtle
at remarkable speeds
down rural mountainsides.
Become works of art
in white space.
Bodies that can dance
miraculously on water;
race and match fluidly
over scapes of
crystallized water.
Can glide with all grace,
tracing agile ways
through forests, and
fields of moving targets.
Bodies that can shine
with burning spirit,
purpose, passion;
beyond color, culture,
nation.
