Wild Rumpus

"And now," said Max, "let the wild rumpus start!"
           - Maurice Sendak, Where the Wild Things Are

Shake, stomp, glow, romp.
Lift, fold, bellow, hold
your arms out to the moon,
call to the stars with a howl,
                                        a swoon.

Sweat, sway, moan, pray.
bend, cry, reach, try
to pass the mark of good for you,
embrace the dark, behold
                                        the view.
