resistDANCE (jan 25, 2015)

I know that dance
I know the "I don't wanna"
dance

I know that too tired
too hard
too late
too far
too cold

resistDANCE

I know that trick of the monkey mind
heavy foot fight
busy brain bop
no point, just stop
slammed shut heart feel

a painful part of practice
if we practice
practicing
no matter what

So

whatever you walk with

be it burden or buoyancy

let's make a date

let's make a date to let our bodies make the shapes
of suffering
of longing
of levity
and of prayer

Let's let hot breath blow through locked lungs

Let's let rolling rhythm rock us into remembering

Life moves

Life

MOVES.
