LOVES TO DANCE.

LOVES TO DANCE.

A Poem by Terry Collett
"

A 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.
