Even in the picture

he was moving,

image a blur,

torso arced,

legs in flex,

arms - get set - ready.

The twist and swirl,

the turn and twirl,

and slip,

and pitch,

and slide.

There now,

here now,

occupant of place,

resident of space,

now, there.

Ebb and emergent flow,

fluid motion,

voluminous,

shifting in waves,

rolling, rotating, spinning.

A grace perpetual,

array of poetic shapes,

changed states,

non-stop, light as energy.

And, even in the picture he was moving.
