DIRTY DANCING
DiRTY DANCING
a body lowered to the floor - deliberate, unbroken.
light cuts across skin, catches the edges of bone.
the earth clings - dirt in the creases, on the palms.
plaid drapes, sheer clings, fur claws at the shoulders.
stillness hums louder than applause.
a creature caught between posture and instinct.
the ground remembers what the body tries to forget.
wildness, restrained; beauty, dishevelled.
the room holds its breath.
and she moves - not to escape,
but to stay.
