He Moves

HE MOVES
November 13, 2006

He moves his arms,
a branch down one; his
fingers, twigs, each
one, and up his neck, his
head, no hair
but supple leaves
instead.

Now down his waist,
just bark, the same down
thighs and legs and
knees. Across his shoulders
another branch
that bends and waves with
ease.
