Belly Dancer

(dedicated to the dimpled one)

by Nii Parkes



Late last night
just before last light
I saw skin
beautiful skin
honey-toned skin
with beads of sweat on it
Stretched
taut and soft
Moving

Like something divine
on a belly dancer with dimples sublime
and eyes that twinkled
like the silver she wore
catching the light
and hypnotising me
me
me
with her rhythm
drawing me slowly
into her soul
sealing me in
with her smile

and the belly moved on
gyrating
pulsating
triumphant
