i pause, shaking the frustration from my body
it stays, like an eletric fizz, my nerve endings sizzle
i feel myself leaving like a dead faint
i watch my body rise and fall, doing a dance i dont know the steps to
i move like l have wings, the currents holding me as i be impossible
i feel the fire in my belly, my body twisting
becoming, dragon.
The line … ‘i watch my body rise and fall, doing a dance i dont know the steps to’ resonates deeply with me hinting at a number of transformations we all go through.
Sometimes to become dragons, other times to become ourselves.
