Notes About The Poem

Corrected and reposted

Merengue Bay Dance - Collaboration With Space Cadet

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 
  with an anchor in plankton, when
    my numb calves fumble in a kitchen sink bath.  

I'm held in his hands, captured
  in splinters and colorful shards of coral 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!"
