Extending

Location

The flowing dancer

spinning with the tongue

the pen

the pencil

sentences tumbling at times

only to stand once more

graceful as ever

 

Moving quickly

then slowly

drawing through each step

pirouettes and fuetes

extending the body

reaching

 

Reaching for more

Giving everything

taking the worst as it comes

criticism

intoxicating

pain

 

Punctuation gravitates

spiraling around in circles

the flick of the wrist

the little details

expanding on simple emotions

 

Giving breath to nothing

Life to the hopeless

Purpose and power

Expression

And extension

Of the human mind

like the human body

As it dances through words

with the movement

of the lonely
