Once
I danced naked on a stage
soaking in the warmth
eager to feel my body
glide and tense
with the sliding breaths
of a singing violin.
Morning comes
and pain blossoms
with lifting eyes
and I wish.
Then
I will stand
and stomp and
spin -
the crescendo
drawing me higher
to ecstasy.
This poem is inspired by real toads, real life, Lindsey Stirling, stripping, and tai chi.

"drawing me higher / to ecstasy."...a journey from the body to the soul....
