About Hello, I'm Renee. I'm a 20-year-old student who doesn't apply herself nearly as much as she should. I love poetry and writing. I read a lot. I also do Egyptian Dance. I like knee socks, chocolate, A Fine Frenzy, Coraline, the sun, elephants, Beats Antique, Mary Oliver and lots of other things. Navigation Home About Me Poetry Message Me ![]() |
I stretch myself in dim lit rooms,
Ribs rippling my torso,
Hips circling circling circling.
If I could shimmy my way
Into a fortunate life
I would have done it already.
Chest lifted-
Dropped.
A belly roll.
My hips fly underneath me.
The ground vibrates up my body.
I flutter my shoulders,
Shaking off the day: the great burden.
I don’t feel you staring.
Like a healing fist
the drum beats into me,
Moves me like a lovers touch.
I am lost in the swing of my own hips.
Belly shimmering with sweat,
Head tossing,
I am released.
I shake and shake
My breath is part of the music
My heart and the drum
Dance.
