did you go out dancing last night?
i did
and the rain felt fine
dripping off the tip of my nose
sliding down the slopes of my shoulders.
i ran up the hill to the field
and stood in the center of it
with my arms parallel to the ground
face up to the sky
eyes closed
laughing as though the clouds had the funniest joke to tell.
i spun
first with my arms out, then bringing them in 
down to the sides of my body
picking up momentum
then slowing down again.
i invented my own dance
under the shaking flashing empyrean
booming in my ears
like jetplanes shouting down from the sky.
the dirt soaked up the water
and it snuck in between my toes
conspiring with the grass.
i danced for an hour
and watched the electric currents
streak the clouds with light
and waited for my bones to absorb
the storm.
