i know nothing of the beauty of dance

i know nothing of the beauty of dance
and still i want to dance

for life to fill me up
stretch me out & pull
my arms to the horizons

for wings to fold
about my head,
lift me to where
the air is tighter

spin twirl and flaunt
my many crooked sins
i want blood on my smock
i want sweat on my bones

leap and bound
everywhere
like i can't help myself
because i can't help myself

i know where your doubts lie
i know the punching power of words
i even know the right way home
but i know nothing of the beauty of dance

for i never saw you dance
