after the dance


""

some mesmerizing movements later
a pearl of sweat 
travels
down 
my
forehead

peculiarly 
it decides to visit the corner of my right eye.

while i lean back into stillness, spine upright, 

the bead
continues
its
journey 
down
my
cheek
.
.
.

salty as it is, 
it might as well be a tear.

i don't mind,
and the eye is not offended.
everyone involved knows that it's just yet another expression of love.
