But the place has its own separate self
Which is always being replaced
The geniuses with leaves
Are moved around like furniture
Like clouds and stars
In which I remain
The abiding centerpiece
Eaten by heat and mosquitoes
When I hear their bolero
I strap myself in like Odysseus
And yet everything is dancing
Some more fiercely than others
The tango of life
The waltz of death
