She moves in mysterious ways

Bellydance class tonight
moving my hips to the sound of the drum
figure eights
hip tilts
rib slides
camels
snake arms
break out the zils and add some rhythm

concentrating on the muscles in my stomach
stretching parts that have not moved in years
(so it seems)
remembering the dance that makes me happy

Bellydance class tonight
moving my hips to the sound of the music
working my body
soothing my soul
