when I am dancing
it feels like my prayer.
it’s like an offering.
I offer my head
back to the dance
I offer my shoulders
back to the dance
my elbows
my hands
my spine
my knees
my feet
my whole self
my bones
my blood
my experience
my suffering
I offer it all
back to the dance
and I say
take it
do whatever
you want with me.
Release me.
