Contemporary Darkness (Poem)

Start enclosed in a shell
Move one arm out to the side
Letting it flow to the music
Move the other and spread both out wide
Lift your head
Slowly throwing it backwards
Then bringing your arms in close to you body
Such a soft embrace
Then you move your hands across yourself
And begin to rise from the floor
Slowly sliding one foot out to the side
And then raising high, with your arm stretching out
Your eyes are placed in sympathy
As your hand can reach no further
And falls back to your body
As if you are falling from grace
You watch as your hand is brought back to you
You gently grab it with your other hand
And place your head into both hands
Your face begins to appear slowly
As do your tears
That are simply wiped away
With your soft fingers
You are fully standing
And you slowly twist yourself around
Letting the music flow across your body
Then you place your hand on your stomach
And the music begins to change
And you begin to roll your stomach
And you are no longer smooth
And you begin to freak out
Your movements are more strict
And your body appears to have an attitude
Your movement is more sexual
And you drop to your knees
And begin to thrust your hips
Your hands begin to explore your body
No longer of innocent mind
No longer soft to touch
You ruffle up your hair
And begin to throw your head around
You look upon your crowd
Their eyes are now more open
The tension is exhausted
By the simple lust
That you express
You place yourself on all fours
And begin to approach the edge of the stage
You stop and stay on you knees
You role your head around
Push back your shoulders
Bite your lip
And dissolve into the floor!
