can you interpret, through skilled movement of your body

the chaos within the creative mind?

can you pirouette in time to the frantic, frenzied sparks

as the synapses and grey matter

produce masterpiece after disasterpiece, raw and dripping,

and transform, elevate it in dance?

elongate your limbs and prance as if on the breeze

while fingers tap out a beat

on the keyboard—a beat that gives life, rhythm to the words

as you pivot, plié, leap

Peel back your leotard-skin, expose your very being to me

as the words course through you

*

Thanks for reading!
