THE HIDDEN DOVETAIL


the stonemason carves a chamfer

the flower arranger removes the yellow

because  white and blue say it all

the wordsmith cuts and pastes, knowing that 

sound and rhythm can contribute to meaning

the painter’s meticulous sketches, with

notes about tone and wind, inform each brush stroke

the cook experiments with fingertip and tongue

the film editor hones in on a twenty-fifth of a second

the dressmaker’s infinitesimal stitchery

the perfect hidden dovetail of the table-maker

the careful intuition of the choreographer

so much unheard, unseen, un-noted

layers of all we are
