Dance Lessons ( Rhythms ¾)

The ice on the Antarctic
At first broke, then glued together-
Exactly like that put
foot to foot
as if you found-
you searched .
The rule: lean against your own
Shoulders
-Means to straighten your shoulders,
You stick your vertebra on the peak
As if
after that you
went downhill.
Pas: your arm on his shoulder
Like a spear on the word,
His left around your waist
And as if
the plant bulb
it flared.
Now
A step- turning towards,
Then
the step turning away
And then as if you are water
And you are pouring (1)
In front of the thirsty person.
The rule: look into his(its, her) eyes, (2)
Even if the mirror is Gorgon,
Adjusting to his steps,
Like adjusting to new shoes.
Pas: as if the moon exploded
And feet are as fragments.
And spinning around the core
And the spinning head,
It wraps you
like a train.
Bring out another( different) rhythm
With your and his pulse
Sum total.
 
And now we will repeat
Everything again
The music again ( play the music from the beginning again)!
