A live performance with Joey Kamiya on sansen circa 2015?
Once upon a time
I was in a dancer's body
high kicks and splits
on the count of one two three
finger pointing to the moon
tell it like it is
rheumatoid sets in
with carbon steel hips
the cards fall this way
now deal
at the airport
my hip replacement
triggers alarms
so much attention
for all the wrong reasons
even in my dreams
flight is not easy
arms bet the air
heavy legs drag
until the silk veil lifts
women 70 +
should wear red
bright bold red
out of the cocoon
wings on a silk veil
