Soul
There were demons in my head.
They danced not at all.
You have to have a soul to dance.
And I am overflowing with soul.
I’ve been dancing since
I was a baby girl, so much soul.
I need the whole world to see me.
They won’t believe it.
I’m almost hovering,
uncovering the meaning of
my dance steps.
I was a tiny, breakable thing.
I am now a big, breakable thing.
We are all breakable.
We are all resilient.
