dancing in the sun

 I'm watching
sun stains on the ceiling
through my fingers:
they tremble and vibrate
they dance 
and change their shapes

when I finally get up
I tremble and vibrate
too
maybe from far away
you could mistake it
for a dance

my contours
can no longer hold
my own shape
they break
and fall to the ground
as in a slow motion
as if they were feathers

sun sets
and the shadow
swallows my room
and covers
my sadness
and my shame

when I walk to the door
I sway
and move 
to the music
I can't hear
I look at my feet
and I can almost
convince myself
that I'm dancing

tarantism

tarantism (df): overcoming melancholy by dancing; the uncontrollable urge to dance

it's a noise
inside my head
and if I could still speak
I would sang
together with it
instead I bite my lip
and move downwards
my own spine

dextra
sinistra
my arms extend
I extend into both
directions
I become
a big
black bird
with sad biddy eyes
and no song
at all

my fingertips
draw fractals
around me
I am the epicentre
I am the source
I am the explosion

I sway in the air
and move frantically
only not to fall
because I know
it could
break me
(I'm made
out of china
I have
no glue)

I dance.
