Palm Dance

Palm Dance

Palm-touching is sweet,

Palm-shade is for her made –

And fruits of palm-tree

Are here to aid

Partaking with breeze

If palm-branches are high:

Palms here are to please,

To softly delight!..

To paint like a brush

Will fingers of palm:

They can like eye-lash

Be tender and calm;

So, close eye-lids,

To let happen joy –

Perform lusty mist,

Creating alloy

By palms – and by hands

Embracing the dense

Of measures and weights

And tensions immense,

Of energies’ burst –

And under the palms

Let count be lost –

Remembered just dance!..
