I bargained for this wheelchair

In another lifetime
God came to me
as a Beloved Woman
and asked me to dance

I was so honored
by her invitation
I danced so hard and so fast

She said “Darling,
if you keep moving like that
your body will go
up in smoke

and even your next body
will be panting and exhausted
from the spasms
of our sheer pleasure.“

“Sweetheart I answered
as long as I find a way to get up
and keep our dance going

I dont care
if next time around
I have to learn
to hoist myself on paws.”

“Forget paws
she said smiling
the way we´re going

youll have more luck balancing yourself
with the strong third leg
dangling from your loins.”

“I`ll take that
as a compliment.”
we must stop now
otherwise next time around
you`ll be so stiff with love
you`ll sit your sweet ass down6
and barely remember
how to stand on two.“

“What do I care
about slowness and stiffness
when I know every muscle
is and will
hold steadfast
to the aching ecstasy of our dance?”

“I see
when my eyes are on you
you go wild
like a sand storm winding
around a tornado. How can I resist
sweeping you off your feet?”

“Just give me a way
that I can keep dancing with you
in this life and the one to come
and I`ll gladly pay any price.”

“But she asked
could you really endure
the music of a body
that moves slowly?“

“I`ll take
what you can give me I said
whatever I cant dance with my feet
I`ll make up for with my mouth”

“STOP she said
look at what
you are doing.
Don't jump into your second body
while you are so hot
your first one has already turned
to ash and fire from the heat of our joy”

“I can feel my legs melt I said
its just the price of beauty
and I woudn`t
change a minute of it.“

“Give me a wheelchair I pleaded
so I can keep
dancing with you on wheels.“

“Handsome one,
I`ll give you a wheelchair
with an added surprise:

Poetry as a third body
to dance through
this world and the next”

My love for you
will make it grow silver wings
that will fly off in the night
and praise you
half hidden from view”

“So be it
let us keep dancing
gliding on wheels!“
