a body moving
a moving body
this piece is about the body
my body and your body 

 

my bones
your bones
the spaces between the bones
the breath
the tension
and gravity 

a falling body
                                                                yielding
                                                                into memories
                                                                into dreams 

                                                                 yielding
                                                                 holding
                                                                 falling

falling with myself into myself
full and empty
breathing
falling
yielding to gravity 

you are invited here with me
you are invited to enter the space
take a breath with me
rest your body on the ground and let gravity take you
we are all falling together

falling for (you) becomes a condition where the fall is allowed to happen. Letting the body to be consumed by the fall, to play with the fall. The fall that is already there, that has always been there.
