the dancer:

the adagio, an eloquent dialogue
mouth shut, undiluted focus
body filled with music
words unnecessary
all understood in line & form
no one can stomp it
it is hers
except for sore muscles
it doesn't hurt her
the studio provides the expanse
to extend herself and stretch
without tripping over others.
she dances to keep herself whole
she keeps moving.
