This is a Dance
This is a Dance
I have thrown away
my sanity,
flung it out the door
like an old rag
or a bowl of dried
seeds.
And I have cast aside
my garments.
Now wear next to nothing,
let my skin go free.
The neighbors may be shocked,
but what can they do?
I heard it was
a free country,
and besides,
who cares
what these neighbors think?
This is a dance
that I alone
can do,
swaying and turning,
the Beloved as my partner,
holding me close in her arms.
