Impetuous Dance

Despite the fact that she was one of only two artists to decline an invite to take part in the re-envisioning of williamfdevault.com, I couldn't resist writing to the Fields of Arbol this poem for Taylor Saville, once I saw her

Impetuous Dance

spontaneity is the conduit of all joy.
for how can we plan for happiness
when the world will have its way and say
and what we set aside in our hearts
(for a rainy day)
will be spilled by the time we get to it?
better to live and love in the moment
and dance an impetuous dance
that speaks the truth, in arms and legs
and torso turned just so to express
the moment of when life begs
the question of joy.
