I love the sound each morning
When I wake up
And hear my hips crack
And my toes click
And my ankles snap
And my knees pop
And I feel the ivory bones
Stretched out and throbbing
Over the arches of my feet
Twisting my body into overflexed
Overelongated
Unnatural shapes
Has been the greatest beauty in my life
It reminds me that I dance

I love the sound each morning
When I wake up
And hear my hips crack
And my toes click
And my ankles snap
And my knees pop
And I feel the ivory bones
Stretched out and throbbing
Over the arches of my feet
Twisting my body into overflexed
Overelongated
Unnatural shapes
Has been the greatest beauty in my life
It reminds me that I dance
