On Capturing Nureyev

consider:

maybe the thing you love

you love because someone you love

loves it and so by virtue...

:

cloud cover, how the behind

is visible to the backsides

of the side

:

the rope wants your nude

and naked (oh both!

you know the difference)

palm, the pouchy closure

of your grip before the warp 

the fire!  of trying to let go

:

Rudi Nureyev had a brief

agreement with Gravity.  Sir, he said.  Sir,

Gravity said.  Who bowed first?
