Impatient Toes

by Nicole Assenza

I’m dancing and
rose petals are
hopes I just finished crushing
I’m dancing and
my heels are long and black
can balance
I’m always reaching up
what are we?
I’m looking foward
get home quick
I gotta
dance some more circles
watch you
lean, against the walls
you win
what a trick
in honesty
that’s saying nothing
have no idea
if you like roses
if you like me,
spiderlong legs
good for a hand
good to think about
impatient toes
crushing roses
you never gave me
crazy
that it’s my heart
I’m dancing on

Excellent addition to the POTD category. Glad I had a chance to read this. Impactful expression, thanks to the construction and imagery.
