Moonwalk

Moonwalk: A Rubric

It takes a lively step and a sure foot

And a certain stepping backwards, to move forward,

Uncovering truths both known and unknown.

My stories, your stories, world stories,

Told and untold

Like tendrils pulling, like a quivering bow

Bending flexing

Moving to a song heard so long ago

Uncovering truths both known and unknown.

Gliding, sliding, toe-heel, toe-heel, detail, detail,

Spoken and unspoken

Glancing outward, curling inward,

One fluid sweeping motion,

Revealing truths, both known and unknown.

A voyage of discovery, charting the uncharted,

across an open sea-

From the Cape of Good Hope, to the Sea of Tranquility,

Or is it just the lifting of a Cloak of Invisibility?

Uncovering truths, both known and unknown.
