Mathematics

Mathematics

Mathematics is also like this
To start from plié
To connect the tendu
To do jumps in the evenings
Push-ups in the mornings
To cry before exams

Mathematics is also something
your eyes grow into or out of
A tour assemblé

Mathematics is a friend
That is waiting for me
a decade, a century
in the books on my shelf

When I call her name
Only a rail track responds
That we once traversed
