Cut A Rug

Poetry in motion

Jump!Twirl!Spin!
The rhythms encompass me
A rapturous entanglement of delight

Bend!Slide!Pop!
The wild gesticulations of primal moves
Bringing me back to the invention of fire within myself

Tap!Punch!Push!
A most beautiful crescendo of catharsis
The great funneling of emotion into motion

Twist!Bounce!Shake!
Let me ride this glorious shock wave
Of musical momentum onward

Jump!Twirl!Spin!
I will do it all again
Enveloped in lockstep with my best dance partner —

myself.

My poem is inspired by a spark found here from the always wonderful Ravyne Hawke
