Dancing with Shadows

by The Cheesesellers Wife

Any attempt to pin down
this exact moment, that exact image
exactly what I feel and need to sayneeds words that are not born yet,
metaphors  for minds not yet formed,
such is exactitude.
Yet that is what poets attempt to do.
We stand at the edge of the crowd,
listening to the music
hearing the echoes of other times and places,
and ask a shadow to dance.
