SHOW STOPPIN

Everything lit up inside me,
Lights popped under the skin
like fireworks
for fireflies
the creaking of a wheel
under banana peels
mirror balls
and jackpot bells
stacked against a velvet wall
This,
this is the time for finger poppin
show stoppin
dime bag dancin

She pivots
to punctuate
bumps a hip
to rotate
wraps herself
around a ring finger
and lets the music
linger
