[Spoken Word] Woman, draw a slow circle around him as if he were a fire and you were heat learning how close it is allowed to come. Do not close the distance yet. Pass him. Feel the air change as you pass. Return. Pass him again. Let the circle teach both of you that approaching is not the same as arriving. Let your hands speak first— through air, along your own waist, across the cloth you almost loosen and then decide not to, not yet. The almost is already a language. Use it. Man, your wanting will rise. That is not a failure. Keep it in your eyes. Keep it out of your hands. Let her orbit decide when the fire is ready to be approached. [Chorus] Near. Not taken. Near again. The circle is the first vow.
