she danced with alacritous animation

as a wavelet  on the ocean's crest

as a supple pliance of bamboo reed in a summer breeze

she danced with herself

and the movement took her within

a captive unto herself yet free

as one swallowed by the dance

spun into an evanescent oblivion

of a crescent moon slippery sailing

a-sky through the tamarind trees

for  her dance was without comparison

fro her dance was without reference

she danced first for the last time

like a moment unto eternity

intrinsic, inimical, irrevocable

she danced herself and the mayas hid themselves

their voices in shame for their all-knowing

that she was born to dance

and all the dance steps of eternity

were awaiting her becoming



a/n: this is actually a part of a story I've read a long time ago. the book's title is "Daisy Nueve" by Menchu Aquino Sarmiento (not sure about the spelling). i really liked this part of the story and i just want to share it to you guys and maybe you could check the book out. though i don't know if it's available nationwide 'cause i borrowed it from my school's library...
