“ The Dancer ”
– be the devil upstairs –
I’d know the music
Just by listening,
To the patter
On the floor above,
And the pulse
That cajoles her feet,
As she capers
To a mystifying beat,
Like it matters
To the dancer,
In whose rhythm
With melodic flair,
She so adorns
Be the devil upstairs,
To mirror,
The center of a storm
Frenzied to a level,
That shan’t be mistaken
As the dancer who conforms…
She’s the devil I can tell
Tho follow I with ease,
For her dance casts a spell
Which leads me to believe,
I’m destined to her hell
If she decides to leave,
Yet just so I can listen
To the rhythmic patters,
Bent by that devil upstairs
Be the dancer who so matters!
