voice
finding the right words
imagined decadence sways
the sound of a voice
fear the fall
fighting for balance
heartbeat crying over cliff
leap off blindfolded
swingin’
no care for our skirts
we’re swingin’ in the backyard
over blades of grass
audience
dancing in my room
I am my own audience
lost in the movement
burning
I was far away,
burning up. When he woke me
I hoped it was you.
steam
a dance in the hips
feathers weaving through the spine
steam on the window
Clock
Desire announces
its impatience. Broken clock
chimes persistently.
