dance dance dance dance

when you are alone

know it could be worse

for you could be

a lone

the suffocating space in between

not knowing you could compound

something together

like the sun’s outstretched fingers

tickling the land for one last laugh

that will consume the sky with a day

never yet seen

not because of history rambling on

in a bar room with few chairs and even less service

but because of you there

with your eyes closed

imaging all the slow songs you didn’t dance to

for no other reason than you weren’t sure how

spread stars child

rattle them down

into your palms like a secret

whispered into an ear

that you are wonderful

you are radiant

and even in the worst unknowing

know you remain total

the sun could not dry you

the night cannot extinguish you

you are all there is

for all there is is in you
