Dance Circles

in this Great Circle
some move with us in the Round Dance
we touch fingers, faces, smiles

others we have loved
dance on in the West and 
hold the place where we will join them

empty

there’s nowhere in space
that’s empty
because you left
and no time that
stands still waiting
while you ran an errand
or went to visit friends
nothing looks different
but every thing
and there is no space
where once you were
but every where
