There is a dance that rages through my bloodstream
Demanding steps be taken
Demanding music and light
Demanding quiet whispers and moans
It filters through my skin
Permeates every cell
Binding closer and close
Passion reminding us to live
To risk all
For each turn of the wheel
Each shift of night into day
Leaves behind bones stripped bare
All meaning carried along in pockets grown swollen
And still
Buried in the choices we’ve stuffed ourselves full on
Crappy breadsticks before the meal
The song calls
Discard the knives buried in flesh
The Flashfire and freeze
Remember but be light
Remember
And still brave the waters
And dance
Whole and broken
Joyous and bleakly
Dance
In grace and stumbles
But always
Always
In my embrace
