inertia's opposite

forgetting to sleep
learning to walk
on water

charging up
glowing lamp-shade beige
chills

blinking lights
colour coding
no more panic

normalizing
becoming aware
waking moments

and my movements:

(i am graceful
but my ballet-dancing days are over
blisters on toes have healed
now my heels bleed
and i dance barefoot
studio dreams and realities
choreographing on myself
hip-swiveling signatures
callouses show my progress
inflaming tendons, ignored
grand gestures
simple details
weightless... grounded
contract/release:
catching the flow
technique
movement vocabulary
performing what i never speak)
