"The dance is a poem, of which movement is a word."

- Mata Hari

The dance is a poem, of which movement is a word.

War is an art, in which dance is an expression. Sharp, stunning strokes form words upon the canvases of flesh, like pen to bleeding paper. He pauses; the ink blooms and blotches into a flower of bright red.

His canvas falls with ink dripping from his coated pen.

A poet speaks with blood of his own; he speaks with the blood of others.

He twists around.

Two steps forward and a step back, he heeds the beat of his heart with bold, beautiful movements to match his next partner.

...

Yay! 100 words on the dot. XD
