Dance for me, deity.
Don’t let the circle close.
(Reflect me again – no, don’t,
please, stay,
don’t leave – go back,
come closer – stay away,
no-no-no-yes-yes,
I mean...
I don’t know what I mean,
but you do, don’t you?)
Swing, sway,
may the tide kiss the shore.
Keep flowing, don’t slow down,
may the waxing moon never wane.
Your palms open, then fold,
your lips part, then press shut,
your heart breaks, then...
Does it mend?
(Never enough!)
Your scent – salt, storm,
it tastes like drowning.
Let the moon watch,
but no more touches, no one touches.
(Except me, except me,
please, let me,
let me,
let me...
No, stop me.)
Dance for me, divine one.
Don’t let the circle close
until the silk is torn to shreds,
until no difference remains
between prayer and hunger,
between me and you.
(Rend me asunder,
oh, don’t you dare...)
Dance for me, dragon.
Should you fall,
I will be no more.
