Courtship

pull away and then step back begin to bail pull the wool from the sheep to fill your sail pull the water from the ocean pool gesture to the king upon his stool in this daily sleep threads woven by skilled hands placed next to each other as we are step back view the king and the queen but beyond them both is the Fool who can see and be seen the scene, in tapestry, tapestry on the wall seeing the rise and the fall step back again, in sin into the less, the lee of the wind in this blue marble hall far enough away to learn lessons from death this day to give to the dead step back from this night black thread white

Additional Notes:
This is an attempt to be as oblique in describing love and companionship as possible. I am interested in what you all find here. The title for me also could be "Court Ship", and I was undecided about it, so I generally let the reader decide this for themselves, if they look.
