That Skirt

Happy National Poetry Month from Stance on Dance!

BY RACHELLE WOODS; ILLUSTRATION BY LIZ BRENT

 

dramas dance down the sidewalk

I want that skirt

want a level of magic

a body heightened experience

 

when the poet’s son

and the reciter’s daughter dance

it is magic

healing, acceptance of self

 

a skirt I want

mostly found poem

using words spoken by Paul Langland
