Well That's Poetic: Subtraction

by Katie Simpson

subtract the floor 

and i'm falling

feet kissing the air

subtract my hands and

i'm a two step twirling

bruised knees bloody feet

subtract my dress and

there's no illusion 

except your dreams 

subtract you and

i'm dancing alone

remembering 

subtract me and

there's only your hands 

itching, waiting

subtract time

and we are here

forever
