time to say yes

I sat in my wallflower suit refused to dance

even though

I said music was my most beloved muse,

dance and music

music and dance

Indivisible to each and every grounded

culture,

I needed to drink then

in my private house, gyrate and shake my

body to a tune,

Now I think I should have said yes, banished

my shyness

to feel that seed of connection take root

toss away that wallflower suit.
