In the Flames
by Ela Lourenco
Surrounded by the light
Of a thousand blood red candles
Flickering to the beat
Of my solid heels
As I spin and stomp.
The guitar sings of sorrow
As my arms and hands
Undulate to the rhythm
My heart beats a silent drum
As I dance closer and closer
To the man in black.
He watches me
Lulled into security
Lost in my dance
As I spin closer and closer to him
Our eyes locked on each other.
As the music stops dramatically
I pull the slim knife
Out of my hair
And stab him in the heart
In what looks to all as a gentle caress.
It is done.
I dance away as the next song begins
And lose myself once more in the music.
