1. SOMETIMES IT'S LIKE



the child dancing in
the Warsaw ghetto
in his body of rags
there must have been
music no one
could hear
dancing thru corpses,
his face pale as the moon
just to stay alive,
begging please
don't hurt me. Dancing
to horror. No one
could hear what
he heard, the razor's
edge, the body's language


2. WALTZ



where you're someone else,
the drawn to flame moth daze.
The world goes away.
This trance deeper than drugs.
Don't imagine anyone could hold me.
I'm flame, wings. a heartbeat
could shatter. Something moves in
under skin, something that
could turn me into Isadora, oblivious
to rain and snow. In the right
arms, I'm wind, rain and fire,
wild to be held tight as
Isadora, to be wound around
skin, your skin, your fingers a
ride in the flame scarf wrapping her
tight and tighter
