gather the gathering

they rattle their fingers hands arms toes feet legs hips and lips

they flutter their cloths their shines their steps

they wait they're ready yet not at all yet excited yet worried

they're throats they're ears they're dances they're thoughts they're words they're hearts they're stomachs they're sounds they're touch

they will be here tomorrow, the day after and the last day

gather them

the gathering will be at the half of the day of tomorrow
