SWEAT!

Glorious, beautiful, liberating sweat!

Not perspiration. Not a slight glow.

Sweat…. And thank fuck!

I can feel it everywhere. Little rivets of it run down my arms and drip off my fingers and it trickles down the nape of my neck. Not just my own either… yours too… and yours, and yours, and yours and yours. I want to grab you and pull you close to me, rubbing your excitement all over myself. I sate myself with the fact that I can smell the tingling of flesh. It has become a part of me. You all have become a part of me, for tonight.

I breathe in… deeply, savouring your used up air, feeling the heaviness of it travel through to my lungs and hit the pit of my stomach like a love punch. The headiness of it all makes me both weak and strong at the same time and I grab the rail in front of me for support.

You, person whom I do not know, tonight, you and I are one in the same, for as long as the band plays on.
