Moving Hearts (Modern)

Swirl my foot in circles,
on the floor,
to the air
up as far as it can go,
then farther--
stretched.
Toes pointed,
all directed to the plane
above my head.

My fingers
skimming the air,
held gracefully,
smiling to themselves.
Tracing hearts
with the sky dust,
soaring.

Pli� down,
swoop to the ground,
legs long,
neck high,
face dancing.

Hands gliding in,
towards the heart,
searching inside.
Beating steps,
pounding rhythms,
leaping with newfound power.

An X on the floor,
all is open,
the lines clear and straight;
legible.
Read the story,
trace the tread of another.
Reach back onto the ground,
come back to center,
fade into the floor.
Back home!
