marketa has never written a poem

but countless songs

i have never written a song 

i wonder about this   is it a rhythm thing

~

is not dancing a kind of making love

when we dance

we are a little awkward   

is this a rhythm thing

~

i am impetuous   marketa is deliberate

careful to consider all sides

i jump in and suffer the consequences

i wonder if our rhythms are calibrated differently

~

a sonnet is fourteen lines   within those lines

there is room for variance   each to their own rhythm   n'est-ce pas
