Sondance

on the sidelines
his body bounces

before each challenge
he flexes

under the supper table
his feet keep cadence
and hands drum
on Levi-ed knees

up and down stairways
his Nike-ed soles pound

off his brother and father
his body ricochets

the kitchen becomes
a stage where ceaseless
songs and howls soar
up past his Adam’s apple

propelling his captivating spirit
into the unsuspecting world
