a poached egg looking out

the fog of a membrane
shadows and focus.  
Interpretation, intentions.  
juggling, sleight of hand, hocus pocus.  
as to a chess match  
the romance of that board  
one does not escape the tip of such a sword.  
truly,  
thicker than blood,  
a concept, so misunderstood.  
the dance    
more than just a waltz  
you, dodge and twist  
so many ways that fill the list.  
yet best is the move,  
sure footed and light  
actions however thought, must be right.  
life's paradox: life's funk.  
can the mind distinguish all the mitigating junk?  
a tight rope is surely waiting,    
but a spin in your stiletto heels,  
comforting, musing, uplifting    
such, the feel.
