I Danced

I danced before I had two feet. Sang before I had a tongue.

I laughed before I had two eyes. Loved before my heart was young.

I swam before I had two hands and held the distance in my toes.

Before I heard the stars I knew the wild compulsion of the rose.

I bore the fruits of many lies. Before I came into this day. I knew before my grave was made, the worms eat only death away the worms eat only death away

I danced before I had two feet I danced before I had two feet I danced before I had two feet I danced before I had two feet.
