Dance with Me Collage & Poetry by Kathy Cotton
SuperDance
On the hardwoods
an unbuttoned smile
rumples into laughter,
slips off a shoulder,
drops into trampled heaps
beneath rhythm’s bare feet.
I whirl wild across the empty boards, soar alone
in endless space, until
the music stops
and I find myselfmyself
smiling at a crowd of open eyes,
my Clark Kent life
stripped down to Superman tights
and the phone-booth door
wide open.
Kathy Cotton, 2010
