“Flos Ferri”


Calcifying seals the joints
between you and I,
and
aragonite solution
crystallizes in rarest gem forms
unseen for centuries
in our hearts.

We must dance out the calcium
and protect the gems.

Sometimes we must break
the calcium with a kick,
and sometimes the aragonite flowers
break loose, too.

Let’s not spend
our little time
debating
which is weightier:
loose joints
or stone florets.

What’s dance is dance;
what’s broke is broke.

We go on across the floor.
