dancer in the dark

the lights went out. Silence. I was alone at home. The hall of the house i live in is largish, and largely unencumbered by furniture. I felt the sinews of my body. i could hear my breath so clearly. I twitched, i followed the impulse. I moved. for ten minutes, i felt my body flow. Towards and away from an imagined flicker, every rustle distinct outside, a force inside almost audible. For ten minutes, i was floating. Just a dancer that no one saw.

you're stunning in front of an audience, and beautiful alone.

It is just me being the usual raging cauldron of hormones or did anyone else find this incredibly, um...(I hate this word I think) 'erotic'? Ooer!
