The Dance

She dances on a darkened stage
That exists only in the backlots of my mind,
Hovering
At the edge of the spotlight,
An ankle here, a shoulder there,
An occasional flash of smile,
Her perfect breasts only hinted at in silhouette—
The light shrouds her in greater mystery
Than the dark alone could compass
No one hears her, and
Only she
Hears the music in her head,
The theatre is empty, the seats unpopulated,
Even I
Am only aware of her presence,
Not there, not there—
We never see her all at once
But I know she dances.

    Sweet thing I would love to dance an evening away with you! I'm not hitting on you--your stuff is fantastic! I feel like I'm dancing just reading your work!
