I step into the cold night
And watch my breath
How it dance with the stars.

A brief polka on Venus,
A slow jig on Mars.
Cupping my paws to my face,
I feel the heat of the dance.

It’s all over my nose
As weaves were through my hands
I dance
Oh I dance
In the snow round’ my feet
Till my toes
Hit the grass
My feet feel the heat.

The heat grows
And the dance speeds
Not just a little,
But in bounds –
In bounds it proceeds!

My veins stop their flow
Just to witness this show
My heart throbs little to
And little fro.

It rages in my brain,
it’s a party it’s insane.
I begin to lose my mind,
Engulfed…

Then the dance stops
My feet hold their ground
I’m alone in the night
Left and right.

There’s no one around.
Just me and my breath,
Which is staggered
And small
I laugh –
A nervous laugh,
It sounds more like a bawl
“What am i doing?!”
I see my hand
Raise to chest height,
And I hear the dancing again
Boom, bing, pow!
Into the night
I knock three times,
Matching the bump
Bumping of my heart
And this dance of life
Proceeds to slowly rip me apart.

I turn around
To take one last look at the night
It’s beautiful
It’s wonderful
It’s an eye’s delight
It’s a dance in the sky
So vivid and starry
Then the door opens up,
and my minds blank

“I’m sorry.”
