Turn & Return

Your extension in the dance

Near me, an extension beyond your arm

Your offering to me in the beyond

Yet still held within your grasp,

Still felt on your summer skin in

The plucking from earth

A dandelion extension beyond

Beyond the yellow flower face

an offering of lace make-a-wish face—

an offering to me in the beyond

I receive your gift through

my extension in the dance

Near you, an extension beyond

Beyond my arm to receive with open palm

A momentary proximity of turn

A turn and return to each other

To extend and receive,

To receive and extend

In the lace make-a-wish face—

Your offering, your hope becomes mine

My hope, my offering become yours

In the turn and return,

In the extension beyond our proximity

Our wishes become one and the same
