Cry...

There's a feeling
jitterbug dancers feel
movement is elaborate
and revealing
reaching for
an open door
a passage way
or some small crevice beneath the store
white is the color
fluttering about the blackness
ruffled and fitted
skintight against the breast
half smiles
and solemn profiles
to accent the movement
of the dancers
tears flow
from the toes
the skin
sorrow pours
through the jumps
and shimmies
cool
is the heat
expanding from the soul
a detection of pain
and then...
a "cry".
