Begin by walking to the place that is right. Get down onto all fours and look left on the diagonal. Tuck legs and sit on butt, feet flat on the floor, knees bent. Begin to sing and do not stop singing until you have finished all of the movements leading up to the closing sequence. Begin singing softly as you rock forward and back, lowering haltingly to the ground. Feet tap out a different rhythm than the song and arms wrap around the invisible planet, round and shrinking by the second. Jolt and then splat and then throw, throw, around and curl. Keep singing, raise the octave to get even louder. Come to standing and fists gather and shoot up, jumping into double step wide arms around and wrap body, leg tucks in like an injured wing, repeat again and again and again and again. Out of breath, song shaky, out of tune, tired and then step lunge back back, and again and again until you are too tired so you stop. Head lolls to one side knees float up and arms gather a wispy substance into center then press down with knee and hand. And again. Later, you will find stillness and catch your breath as you sing the high part, trailing index finger from neck to belly button then both fingers from neck to shoulders. Hands gently rest on top of head. Lead to right side and spiral down to the floor index fingers together then spreading apart like a vision test at the doctor’s. Hug self and walk backwards to slump into crosslegged position. Arms out wide then closing in and CLAP.
