Shadow of the Butterfly Posted May 9, 2003 Report Posted May 9, 2003 Bodies moving in the darkness Music pulsating, alive Crashing over the faceless Movements controlled by the force of the beat Sweat, perfume, smoke and incense fill the room Breathing in and breathing out is its own statement Fluid bodies move in time to one another Girl sitting by herself, watching Glitter dusted over her body Dark, shadowy makeup makes her blend in Trancelike, she moves to the center of the dance floor Unlike the rest of the gyrating bodies, she is still She looks up at the flashing lights and her eyes fill Tears spill over her lashes in silent grief No one notices as she continues to weep The tears wash away her makeup Her face begins to shine As her mask is shed She blinks and looks around Silence has filled the room All eyes are on her, for she is different A slow smile spreads over her face, touching her eyes She begins a slow dance of her own Moving to the beat of her heart, and the hearts of those around her She tilts her head back and raises her arms The glitter on her body dances as she moves Different
