Human Contact

Inspired by this video on Contact Improvisation:

Human Contact

touch slides across her

gliding steps

moving attention together

responding inflections

step and fall

breathe

curl over shoulder

breathe

check

roll

apart

connection present

breathe

missed depth

daily human contact

holding breath

anonymous strangers

crowded bus

flinching from touch

casual bump apologies

press

secret tensions

unfolding private nerves

first massage

muscles and skin

sensual exploration

awareness of knots

deepest breaths

release of armor

exquisite invasions

learning trust

pulse of heartbeat

music driving

feet move

hips and shoulders

we spin

your eyes dancing

sweat

sharing singer's breath

movement never stops

settles spinning

inside

comfortable silences

end of day

jumbled cuddle

catching breath

stitching life's

disparate threads
