The Grass-Dancers

The grass-dancers only know each other
Their music is translated through the soles of their feet
And the tips of their fingers
And everyone else is old news
The only thing left undiscovered
Is how hair can bounce and legs can
Turn and
Eyes and cheeks and mouths and whole faces
Can smile.

    Your placement of line breaks is so smart. It gives this poem a perfect tempo and the proper attention to the words in each line.
