The importance of connection

I saw these trees today, they reminded me of some moments in dance that are stunningly different. These poems were written when working with a contemporary dance group in Coventry. Together, they capture the best and the worst moments of dance. Beautiful enchantment, and an entangled mess.

Synchronicity

We stand in tension,
United and yet quite apart.
I watch you move,
then follow slowly, deviating quietly,
creating my own patterns within your tanglements.
