LOVES TO DANCE.A Poem by Terry CollettA DANCER AND HER MAN.Nita loves to dance. Her mind is filling With music like a glass filling with wine. She stretches up her arms, her hands Feel like touching invisible stars. She Is all alone, the room is empty except For the ghosts of past dancers, standing And watching, silently clapping. She Pirouettes until her toes bleed, until The applause ends. Berghouser will Come soon and take her home; he Will not applaud, his is not the clapping Of hands except about her head or face. She closes her eyes; there is the dance Steps to remember, the positions to Recall, the tempo to maintain. She Is the pirouetter of pirouetters, the Mover of motions, the dancer of Dances. Berghouser stands by the Door of the room and watches; his Dark eyes move over her flesh, her Motion, the pirouetting, the tenderness Of thighs. Nita senses his presence, The burning sensation of his dark Eyes, his fingers itching to touch And feel and slap, she can sense it In her mind’s wounds aching still. © 2011 Terry Collett |
