Dancer, Cancer

Turning, pivoting, levitating,
eyes glancing,
bowing, stepping, quivering,
hands chancing,
he steps forward, bounces back,
she leans in and and shifts to the left,
wearing a silken dress in black.

Gyrating, rocking, spinning,
shoulders shaking,
leaping, tripping, swaying,
spine backbreaking,
he makes a gesture and purses his lips,
she comes closer and grabs his hand,
slowly moving her gorgeous hips.

Twirling, darting, hopping,
legs swinging,
whirling, rolling, rotating,
ears ringing,
he grips her firmly spitting his breath,
she closes her eyes and freezes,
awaiting her own senseless death.

Revolving, twisting, revolting,
belly hurting,
flickering, straining, adapting,
mind diverting,
he lets her go, pulls out his knife,
she inhales and fully awakes
to a new and wonderful life.
