Poetry by Jamie McKenzie

Figure Skaters

The beginning
Is an ending
The start
A finish
The answer
A question
How far?
How deep?
How long?
How well?

We chase the tails
Of our dreams
Circling
Intersecting
Forming figure eights
We dance across the surface
Spinning
Reflections
Weaving
Interwoven

We carve through the ice
Of former lives
Skimming along
Leaving signatures
Cleanly shining
Fresh tracks
Beginnings
Endings
Layered
One upon the other
