The Dance Current

the value of our form

- BY ELIZABETH EMOND-STEVENSON

it is about shapes and also bigger than shapes.

it disappears and it has lasted for time eternal.

it starves us but it feeds us.

it brings us together

it is an empty space that we fill with ideas

it is bodies and experienti­al knowledge

it shifts and we are shape-shifters

if it imposes

if it shrinks you

belittles you

tells you

you do not belong

that isn’t it

that is something else

you are more than a shape

you are here and enduring

you are nourished

you are whole

you take up space

you are knowing

you move
