Poem Title:
Poem
She goes out because She can't step inside a spaceship And go back in time She can't retrace her steps And figure out Where it all went wrong So instead... She dances And with her mind like a spaceship She does blast off And escapes her sad reality She dances good And she dances a long time And sweat like rain Pours down her body Baptising her... Cleansing the pain out of her pours And better than booze The endorphins take her Higher and higher... Away many planets and back The music touches And embraces her like a warm light Touching and caressing her With its disco ball And laser beams striking Over and around her The music touches her ears and into her mind And then she's like a possessed object She is no longer ordinary No longer old Or married/separated/divorced Or a mother She is only a woman Sexual and beautiful And seeking to excite and tease the men In their half drunk states of mind They see this bigger than average woman She dances so sexual Like a stripper Or a salsa/punk rocker/rapper chick She does it all And she does it well They wonder who she is? And like the prisoner who Gets to rub their wrists after their shackles are taken off She too rubs the pain out Of her life for one night She sets the burdens aside And she dances them away... She flies across the floor like a butterfly Released from a cage And like a song bird Whose beak was held shut She lets her voice ring out To the heavens and back... She almost cries It feels so good to be out And to be free.... And dutifully at the end Of the night Like Cinderella and her glass slipper She ever so carefully Puts the burdens back on her shoulders
