Body Rapture

For the Turtle Dancers . . . 
Body Rapture
Let the body rapture
lead you out
beyond the tentacles of words
beyond the weights and measures of the mind
the body knows it loves, it doesn’t care
about constraints of boxes and conditions
doesn’t need permission
doesn’t need directions
has its own affection
makes its own connection
precisely tuned to every move and glance
The body rapture knows
love is pure enough to move you
in the deep perfection
of the dance.
