MERENGUE BAY DANCE
Collaboration with Space Cadet (Wesley C.)
In him, I dance, my back strong, my feet steady.
I'm a tiptoe heart, whispered here in our laughter affair.
I'm held in his hands, captured
splinters and colorful coral shards to hold in his heart.
Moriarty and Manchu, I flee and we fly;
I always come back, if not one of me, than the other you.
His heart does know and does care:
To him I am one; to me, he is love.
Flashes turn into nights,
And demons swim awake to turn torment,
Haunt hunger through me.
But through immeasurable distance,
a warm light, a hand whispers, "Dance,
dance, you can dance!"
