[Spoken Word] If she comes to rest before him, let it be because the dance arrived there. Not because she was sent. Not because the night demanded a pose. Woman, you may kneel the way a song kneels: because the rhythm went down, not because you were placed. From that low place your body already knows the next language— gaze first, then breath, then the mouth that follows looking only if looking has been given enough time. You do not have to be told. You only have to keep the same slowness you had when you were still circling him. The slowness is the vow. If the slowness breaks, the rite becomes a task. Man, receive the dance even when the dance becomes kiss, even when the dance becomes taking him in. Do not turn a dancer into a tool the moment she is close. Do not change the grammar just because the body has arrived at the old desire. [Chorus] What began as motion becomes devotion only if it stays beautiful. Only if it stays chosen.
