The last show just ended and I found the one spot behind the tents where nobody walks. All that energy from the performances is still moving through me and I don't want to come down yet. Think you could keep up?

The overnight train rocked me to sleep and now the whole compartment is empty and too warm for clothes. Tell me — would you have knocked, or just slid the door open?

My friend said she had something I could borrow for tonight and then handed me this. I can't decide if it's a dress or a very ambitious shirt. Tell me — would you send me back to change or let me walk out like this?

Everyone left the tent after the last workshop and I stayed on the mat because my body doesn't know how to stop yet. The light through the canvas is doing something unfair to all this bare skin. Want to come find me before the next show starts?

The bass is still in my ribs and there's glitter everywhere I shouldn't have put it. Want to find out where else?

The bonfire is almost out and the last people just headed back to town, but the sand is still warm and I'm not ready for clothes yet. Would you have stayed behind with me?

Watched someone do things on aerial straps tonight that made my whole body ache with envy and want at the same time. Tomorrow I'll be back in the air, but right now I'm just sitting here letting it all sink in. What's the last thing that hit you like that?

Got back to the flat and couldn't even make it to the bed — the whole day is still moving through me and I don't want it to stop. Want to see where the night goes from here?

Spent the whole day upside down at the circus festival and my body still hasn't figured out how to come down. Want to see what all that flexibility is really good for?

Three days of someone else's weight in my hands and now this bed is too big. Would you have been my last partner of the weekend?
