About the work
Verse 1
The room is warm with watching eyes
But I don’t answer any of them
I feel the floor through naked feet
Like it remembers where I’ve been
No mirror here, no front, no back
Just skin, just pulse, just time
My ankles speak before my mouth
My spine completes the line
Pre-Chorus
I don’t rise
I don’t fall
I settle
Into it all
Chorus
Salt on my ankles
Dust on my skin
I don’t dance to be wanted
I dance to let myself in
Salt on my ankles
Slow, deliberate sound
Every step is a question
The ground answers back
Verse 2
They think this dance is invitation
They think it asks for more
But every pause is a boundary
Every circle is a door
I keep my eyes half-open
Not hiding, not exposed
This body is a shoreline
Where knowing comes and goes
Pre-Chorus
I don’t rush
I don’t explain
This rhythm
Has its own name
Chorus
Salt on my ankles
Heat in my calves
I move with what is given
Not with what they ask
Salt on my ankles
Time turns thick
I don’t disappear in movement
I arrive in it
Bridge (breath + footwork break)
Step
Wait
Shift
Hold
Heel
Ball
Circle
Ground
Final Chorus
Salt on my ankles
Nothing to prove
I don’t dance for the moment
I dance to remember how to move
Salt on my ankles
Still when I land
This body is not performance
It’s understanding
Outro
The drums don’t end
They walk away
Inside my steps
I stay
