Kalama dances with fear, every swift move of the hip a slap on sweaty cheeks. Bystanders gather ‘round the flaming torch, hypnotic eyes and mouths are 'O's. Wafting smoke lifts all doubt lulls anxious hearts who believe in The Power with gifts of gratitude.

Wow. It really makes it seem like some sort of ritual. Great write.
The move from Kalama's fear to the bystanders' belief in The Power is striking. It leaves me feeling unsettled. Well constructed.
This is beautiful a complete sensory experience! I have always wanted to try Belly Dancing

Thank you... I love to hear everyone's interpretations!
I am happy to be a part of Poets United, too.
Lovely line break here:
"Wafting smoke lifts all
doubt lulls anxious hearts"
Great first line. Hypnotic, yes!
I SEE IT! Well done, Laurie.
Wonderfully evocative!
