Dance: A Real-World Application

Off we went    
Occasionally  
Looking up    
Into deep eyes    
Stretching    
My legs out;    
Parallel    
Right    
“Consonant”    
    
First    
   
Warming up    
Against    
The side    
Of my face    
   
Leaving    
My mind    
Unsuspicious    
One way    
Or the other    
   
But I was learning    
(She was    
Training me    
Steadfastly,    
As a child)    
How to    
Manifest    
Sex    
On my own    
Terms;    
Not somebody    
Else’s;    
Anybody    
Else’s.    
   
(Love    
In a    
Mechanical    
Space;    
Making    
Room).
