A peek in my studio

Enter my studio to see the model of my sculpture, which I cast later into bronze. Working on this sculpture, the dancer became so real to me that I could hear their voices, which inspired me to write their duet as a poem:


He: From dust you gather meI beg you on my knee Look away—imagine me, The way I used to beNow shadows spread upon meStain by stain I shiver. Touch me, heal meMake me whole again
She: I see him in my mindHe moves, he stirs tonight But when I come to him, Our limbs entwined That arm wraps around me It holds me and controls me—Can we take flight?
He:In darkness take a leap For trust is blindImagine me: I'll lift you, Caress you and possess you Imagine us: In passion and in sweepOur limbs entwined
She: Pressed against that ribcageWhere not a breath escapesNot a sigh of sorrow, Not a cry of rageHow can I bear his silence When shadows grow immense—
He: If shadows peel and lift awayIf ever you break free From my embraceIf you catch sight of meIn light of day—Go... Leave me here, My grace,In my debris—
She: In my dream I'm soaringAmidst a flap of wingsMy heart so light, So happy, Forgetting him, ignoringThat arm  Wrapped around me, How heavily it clings

The creation of this piece also inspired my story, I, Woman. The poem and the story are included in my book Twisted.
