Movement

And the movement flows through me

Like a melody my bones have always known

I sway

With my hips sensually cutting through air

I tilt my head back

Releasing the tension

Wound tighter around my neck

Every time I let external pressure consume my internal surroundings 

I breathe out

Sighing into the beauty gliding through my finger tips

I feel it

And with the beauty comes love

Slapping my cheeks red

Raw

I see clearly

I bleeding into the We

Like water colors there is no containment

Just fluidity

My arms raise up

Stretching to meet with molecules guiding me through the day

Twirling my hands in circles they swirl around me in a hurricane 

The momentum surrounds me

Building with each twirl and shake

Tears

They form like the earth from the pressure of gravity

Stardust

Compressing

I am expanding

Into planets

Stars 

Supernovas

But first

I must collapse.
