You got so used to whispering,
screaming was forgotten.
He can teach you
how to yell
from the center
of your belly.

Let him.

You've been tip-toeing for so long.
Don't you want
to stamp your feet hard again,
on cold concrete
and feel the sting
creep up from your toes
straight to your thighs?

He'll demonstrate.

You haven't taken a deep breath
in years.
He'll place his hands
on your rib cage
and expel
all the stagnant air.

He can do it.

You've been in your seat
forever.
He can show you
a fine waltz,
along with quite a few steps
you didn't know existed.

Let him lead.
Follow him.

Let him teach you.
Learn from him.

It might just be
exactly what you've
always wanted.
