Cirque de Squirrel

There was a day I too could dance
atop a taut dark line drawn with a single
confident slash across the sky

And I could hang by my heels and catch
lithe waist or ankle with a flick of finger
sparkle of smile, wink of my eye

And I would inhale that randy perfume behind
her ear embrace her sweet ripe everything
and happy them harvest home

But this was about that black squirrel’s dance
atop a taut dark line drawn with a single
confident dash across this poem.
