Delilah of the Dance Floor

I.

You take a breath
Shallow and from active lungs

II.

The song begins,
And it is upon a note of excitement

III.

Your gilded skirt billows out from beneath you
As you fly, fly, fly,
Across the floor

IV.

You can feel it course through you
This song of electric passion and courage

V.

His sweaty hands reach for yours
You grab them and spin
Around, around, around

VI.

There is no thought, only feeling
As your arms and legs flap around
To this, your anthem

VII.

The silver specks of the disco ball hit your neck
And you have discovered the dark side of the moon
You glitter, glitter, glitter

VIII.

You say you’ve found your utopia
Swear you’ll never leave, never leave, never leave
