Dancing on the Beach

Sunlight slips past unnoticed
as she marks her spot
in the sand

lit from behind
a gargantuan wash of
burnt embers
fortell the bonfires



unconcerned she starts
the song...
a beat, stacatto rhythm
electric drums
crooner calls
passion
to passion





a breeze unease
homeless in her wake
hips and pelvis
turn and twist


limbs respond, reverb
and sway taking off
she flies across
hardpacked sand
crashing waves

lost in trance
alive with fire
a moving spirit
pulls her up
and knocks her down


twirls her
across
to the other side
of
her dream


and those left watching
remain unseen
