Dance, Girl, Dance
Twisting smoke
Moving like sex in a dream
Somewhere,
Rain falls as Elvis tears
Shaking skies fall…closer to water
Beachcomber hair
Ruffles strands of the valleys
Stealing granite hearts
Winter bone
Snaps pace of white-strobe lights
Metronome pulsing uncontrollable
Take my hand,
As a branch shadowing a leaf
Along wrists of ballerina glass,
Dance until breaths are broken
Finding little bits of you in feathers
Betwixt spiralling Flamenco dancer,
Casting nets o’er one-string guitars,
Feet which have shuffled alone
Suddenly, become four shoes.
Smoking twists
Moving like dreams in sex

Take my hand,
As a branch shadowing a leaf
Along wrists of ballerina glass,
Dance until breaths are broken
Finding little bits of you in feathers
Betwixt spiralling Flamenco dancer,
Casting nets o’er one-string guitars,
Feet which have shuffled alone
Suddenly, become four shoes.
Smoking twists
Moving like dreams in sex

Ha. Diolch yn gallon. I’m very adept at an Afternoon Tea Dance. It’s in my genes / jeans ;)
