Great
Plain's Dance
Amedeo
Dellago
No
way of being above
You
can only dance
like wind is standing on his own
like blood is standing on his own
tormentuously pushing the space
The
loneliest dance
like the smile they can never see
Lonely
like a prehistoric bird
dwarf-curving body of pain
the ancient feathers surrounding the sky
Trying
to turn dust into wind
Dancing
till life or death
The
story of You
on Earth unconfused and eternal
