The Story in a Dancing Body
one sliding foot draws the lines of the melody
the toes curling in passion and fury
the muscles rippling and tensing up the calf
with a tap of the foot and the offset of a bouncing hip, the drums come to life
the hip follows the soul of the drum while the foot gives nuances of stern and forceful crashing
leading subsequent hips and toes to tap and bounce along
an arm directs, pushes and pulls the words while an explosion of the chest gives humanity fire
the arm speaks of undercurrents and the chest cries for the heart.
as the arm drags the chest along, the chest sweetly draws in the arm
