i know a dancer<\/span>


and she walks with the grace of a dream<\/span>
a billowing message of the worlds goodness<\/span>
and it fills you from all angles and lifts you to say<\/span>
\u2018Hush, it\u2019s okay\u2019<\/span>
and that\u2019s all you wanted to hear anyway.<\/span>

and the kiss of her lips to the fumes of the ash<\/span>
kissing the air of creativity<\/span>
she sucks with a passion and blows with a<\/span>
sigh<\/span>
and that\u2019s all she wanted<\/span>
anyway.<\/span>

the dancing arms and the dancing hands<\/span>
the dancing fingers<\/span>
wrap around<\/span>
my welcoming neck<\/span>
and we dance in each others eyes to Brahms<\/span>
as we kiss the air<\/span>
and not each other.<\/span>

and it will be quiet<\/span>
and it will be perfect<\/span>
and everything will be clean and perfect<\/span>
possibly<\/span>
probably<\/span>
definitely.<\/span>
