The Poetry of a Dance

Chest to chest.
A soft embrace.
A joined inhale.
Two feet that trace
an invisible line
on hardwooden floor.
A gentle turn.
One more, one more.

A sudden stop.
Patience. Still.
Two bodies waiting
until the music will
carry them further,
guide their conversation.
Action and reaction.
An act of co-creation.

Cheek to cheek.
Thigh to thigh.
Two faces glowing.
A natural high.
The end is near.
The movement slows.
The poem goes back,
to being a line of prose.
