Niimi'idii-nagamon[1]

something

found

dropped

            four                            

steps             

through

            pain

all

we

know

don’t speak

of nervousness

            not now

                        balanced fumble

                        through easy words

hollow beat

comments about

the weather

in possession

of mind,

in control  

of motion.

we       try       to         entertain       

softly

 instead with

honest

quick

rattles

and

shakes
