Dreams

The music is plays games ... dancing and twirling through the air ... like pretty little girls around a Maypole. I can see the notes kissing and caressing each other as we dance. I love dancing.

I dance between William and my Angel ... everyone stares at us but we don't care because we could eat them all up if we wanted. William is so handsome tonight ... his dark curls and his Peirrot costume ... his face is hiding behind a mask but I can still see his lovely eyes with all their lovely lashes. Oooooooooooh ... my Angel is pretending to be Death tonight. His long black cape glides around him as we dance ... he's hiding his face behind a skull mask ... all red like someone just tore the flesh off of it ...

Princess is hungry.

We all dance together. William and Angel dancing together and then they turn and swirl around me again. The music dances around us ... kissing our skin ... licking our lips ... Angel and William can feel it too. The music is telling us to be wild ... like animals in the jungle. It seeps into my veins and soaks into my bones ... it makes my brain do silly things. The music loves us. Angel looks into my eyes and I can see it pouring into his blood ... the music and the light and all the silly humans staring at us like we're all insane ... *Why can't Princess stop laughing*

WE ARE ALL INSANE!!!

Angel takes William's hand and they dance like a man and a lady would ... William is the man, spinning and leading Angel around the dance floor and Angel let's him do whatever he likes ... like a lady ... following William's lead through the music. The humans are getting scared now ... staring at these three lunatics dancing and spinning and laughing around the floor. Angel kisses William's neck and they both reach for me and take my hands and we all spin around the floor together like the music is dancing around the room. The humans can't see it but we're not dancing alone ... the voices are dancing too ... telling me to lose myself into their lovers the notes. I do what they say and my body starts to flow like water through the music ... I'm a waterfall of stardust ... falling from the stars through the air ... through the music, through the notes ... my lovers the notes ...

William grabs my hand and starts to lead me into an old old dance from when he was still alive ... staring into my eyes as we spin and swirl and skip around the room. Angel is clapping to the beat ... like a broad-shouldered flamenco dancer ... to the side to the side,  and he's laughing and smiling - all big white teeth - from under the lip of his skull. The voices are telling me to lose myself to the music again ... so insistent ...

‘But I am!' I say out loud as William raises our hands over our heads - pulling me up to him - then turns away and passes me to Angel, ‘I am ...' I answer ... I'm singing ... I'm spinning I'm singing I'm singing, ‘ I am I am ... Oh I am!'

The voices whisper to me ... The notes make love to my insides ...

‘WE ARE ALL INSANE!'
