Their painted cheeks shone like dazzling suns... <br />their faces flushed and red. <br />Lustrous eyes flashing seductive glances, <br />one had seen herself in bed. <br />One had seen herself in darkness, <br />and another with some man. <br />One had seen herself so restless, <br />dancing on till all is gone. <br />They all but dance for hunger <br />of the flesh and of the soul. <br />They all but drank for courage <br />that tomorrow they'd forget it all.<br /><br />Jessel Jane Tevar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/drunken-dancers/
