i reworked this. it's something that i submitted and was never updated on, once i was notified that i'd be notified. we all know how that goes at times. so i found it and decided to redo it because it is a very personal work. s



gracefully

in dreams i dance
waltz, polka, boot scoot
cha cha

i feel the wind in dreams
riding the 10 speed i never owned
i skate, in line or
the old key clamps on penny loafers
just a normal 50's sidewalk kid

double dutch jumping
with a best friend, so fast
ropes blur

in dreams i live a different life
graceful, normal. in nightmares

i see bright lights, breathe
remembered smells that almost wake me
hear whirring inside my skull
metal on bone

in my dreams, i dance
and no one looks, and
looks away.
