when performers swim, the dice are cast. sounds like a piano doing ragtime, echo of the voice of a clown across the sea.

when performers laugh, the trees whistle as if hearing.  
jugglers on sand dunes remember.

when performers tango, stages turn into bridges. an aster in a garden blooms.

when performers teach, a taut drum vibrates. a Native American flute holds its breath, then come the long notes haunting an audience.

when performers die, the oceans leap up and keen as seals emerge and fly.
