Everything Moving (poem)

Everything Moving
Who am I to say
how this world
is put together,
how the seams and ridges
fit,
why the waters heave
and flow.
Only the architect
knows the full extent,
the weights and measures
of
the secret connections
in her palm.
Me, I have my corner
where I dance
to make the hours move,
rhythm to keep the sky alive,
hold earth and moon in place,
everything turning,
expanding sphere of light.
