Dancer
Dance
A sport
Jumping, Leaping, Sweating
Wow, I’m getting sore
Took a break for water
Even that couldn’t quench my thirst.
Brushing the sweat off of my forehead,
Knowing that you only have an hour left
Until I get to go home, and rest my
Aching body, my heart pounding in my chest. I need
To take a hot shower, allowing the heat to roll down
My sore, stinging bones. I can barely walk the next day, because
Of all the near-impossible movements my body had done last night. I
Can’t believe that I went through with that triple back hand-spring last night
Because now I know that I shouldn’t have, because after that, my ankle had twisted.
