mesmerizing
you danced us
into a drug-like stupor
swirling, floating on air
bending, twisting
coming alive again and again
responding to the music
through another dimension
your other-worldly passion
and fever
burned you up
as if a fire not meant
for our atmosphere
you wore your darkness
on your skin
on display
your deepest vulnerabilities
a public fodder
we watched
like voyeurs
witnesses to murder
and torture
but its your starburst
that outshines it all
the fairy-dust
still settling on the stage
and we know that
what we saw
was pure magic.
