the floor is dark around me

music pounds in my ears

causes a hum in my blood.

I don't care if I dance alone

or if another warm and moving

body is pressed against mine,

arms snaking around me.

I just want a release,

to move with the sound waves,

my mind heady from the rhythm,

eyes closed, heart pounding.

I want your mouth at my throat,

leaving your mark with your teeth;

a whisper in my ear asking my name,

I continue moving in silence, laughing.
