DANCING by JAMES HARRISON

Poet Analysis

First Line: AFTER THE PASSING OF IRRESISTIBLE
Last Line: CRAVING OXYGEN.
Subject(s): DANCING & DANCERS;

After the passing of irresistible
music you must learn to make
do with a dripping faucet,
rain or sleet on the roof,
eventually snow,
a cat's sigh,
the spherical notes that float
down from Aldebaran,
your cells as they part,
craving oxygen.
