    ON THE FLOOR
    i’m trying
    but still i close my eyes
    the dreaming
    brining his face to mine
    lock the door
    the constant buzzing
    all through the night
    the fight it
    rips me all up inside
    on the floor
    i pace, i run my mouth
    i pray and wait
    i cross out his name on the page
    how long ’til this washes away?
    how long ’til my body is safe?
    how long ’til I walk in the light?
    how long ’til this heart isn’t mine?
    the rise and fall
    of his chest on me
    i’m trying
    but still it’s all i see
    the violent
    current of energy
    i hide it
    away and underneath
    lock the door
    i shake, i promise everyday
    to change
    i cross out his name on the page
    how long ’til this washes away?
    how long ’til my body is safe?
    how long ’til I walk in the light?
    how long ’til this heart isn’t mine?
    take this wildness away
    i just want him in my arms

    This is making me smile so fuckin hard. He's been so open about his fraught relationship with his body and to me this is such a beautiful example of his blossoming relationship to it. This is what dance and movement can do! We're meant to move and celebrate with our bodies! :D I'm joyful in these hard times. Thank you PG

    OMG I recognise the dancer! This tatoo on his arm! He is a muse of a briliant photographer Adrain Chesser, who made one of the most heart breaking collection of photos with his frieds and familly members, capturing their expressions just after he confessed to them that he is HIV positive.
