Never Stop Dancing

Never Stop Dancing

I am the diamond
     breathing in your hands;
The fine lace swaying in
     the breeze through windows
     as I crumble dedans la pirouette;
The cyclone, the earthquake
     of imploding power
     in your arms

          Spin me a room,
          Weave me a rainbow
          Pull me to you and
          push me away
          Burn me, absorb me

I want to tumble, trip, fall, 
     to be lifted by you
     elevated, levitated;
Finest rags, softest fringe
     rippling around you
     in last evening light;
Raise me slowly
     on tiptoes;
Rescue me, scream my name
     loud

          Spin me your laughter
          Catch me, don't drop me
          Pull me to you
          never push me away
          Dance, don't stop dancing

Never stop dancing.
