milk first

i am a dancing dervish
and i don't know the words
the melody is thick
and blue
and despite the training
i am moving
like a new foal just searching
for the teat
that will nourish.
something is whispering
i am meant for galloping
wildly
across green hills into a sea breeze
never-the-less
the present driving beat
is
milk first
milk first
milk first

Merry Christmas. Joni's haunting tune is my carol this year.
