Variety in Repetition
By Kelley Jean White

The dance is different each time, it varies
like a sonnet: a set number of beats,
phrases, the turn at the end of the line;
and you love, can count them better, you time
each movement precisely; I've two left feet.

measure after measure, you hold a new
partner in your arms--I'm just this heavy
person, waiting on the edges, ready
to make certain you're laughing. If you knew
