stories …
told in fragmented fashion
teased from the lips of modern man
and woman
tell …
of overlapping relationships
nephew to uncle, daughter to mother, child to parent
younger to elder
of family-tying-family together
-living threads weaving deeper truths –
now knotted, broken, torn
we patch in haphazard fashion
pull threads together
catch up a stitch
invent material from stories
told…
we are fragmented – all –
some of us from choice
some of us from leaving behind old lives to grow new ones
we dance fearfully, joyfully, passionately the dance of life.
others dance too
dance the pain of life broken
-dance the fragments-
fearfully, joyfully, passionately, uncertainly
their feet echo the beat of almost forgotten drums
hesitating sometimes
then returning
fearfully, joyfully, passionately weaving
living rhythms
