Swaying
her body
along the tune
looking
godly
an artist’s muse.
Beneath
her feet
a splintered floor
in sweet
dreams
a velvet door.
Breaking
inside
feeling insane
shaking
outside
to soothe the pain.
Postures
sliding
fluidly to another
worries
enveloping
like a black smother.
Counting
beats
she felt in her heart
dancing
greets
a sad form of art.
