reasons to dance
after dinner, romantically,
at a wedding, with family and/or friends,
expression, shapes and form,
emotions, joy,
story,
connection, hearts and hands,
history and nature,
socializing, meeting new people, building with old,
culture, celebration,
to seduce.
I can’t do that.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Let someone behold you.
I’m ugly!…
I look ugly when I dance.
some people dance to look beautiful,
but I don’t have to do that.
I can find my own reason.
I want to be beautiful.
That is okay. You are not less than for wanting that,
or for feeling less than.
I am less than.
It is okay. States, not traits. Come home, where it’s safe.
I want to dance.
I won’t stop you. I hope you won’t either. <3
Hugs. Swaying. Still.
