The bass beats
The only bulbs
Are being the bottles
On the shelves
Shaking
In sync
Steps
Of dancers
Unpartenered
Are also
In sync
I close my eyes
And it’s all
In sync
I can tell
Even without
My eyes
The bass
Beating in my chest
Beseeches
The beat
Begs
For everyone
To stay
Together
To love
And not fight
To dance
And not disintegrate
We are one
We are
Together in this
Even when we forget
We are
The same flesh
Same blood
Soaking
The towelette
Held to the nostril
Who knows
What made the cut
What brought forth
The bleed
But let us bleed
Blood red
Together
Let us bleed
