Dancer of the Shadows
Red eyes twinkle
Green skin glows
Energetic movements
She gracefully holds a pose
Leather and gemstones
Made to fit tight
A slaving collar tinkling
Through the vague spotlight
Red lips for kissing
Sparkling white teeth
Once sharp pointed talons
Now cut short and neat
An exotic dance
Some strange human word
They lacked rich language
They lacked rich culture
They lacked the beauty of alien worlds
Barely even seen
Barely even heard
Alone on the dance floor
On a strange world
A female
A play thing
That's all she ever heard
Nothing but a doll
Stuck in a males twisted world
Lekku swinging to the beat
Legs leaping high
Arms helping her to balance
While her sore neck cried
She retired every day
She barely got a bed
Sleeping on the ground
With a blanket over her head
She wasn't a musician
She couldn't even sing
She usually danced to twi'lekian trance
Exotic dances weren't her thing
Lonely and cold
Starving and stiff
Sore muscles
Sore neck
Heart pounding
A dancer
A twi'lek
A female
That's all she had ever been
Where was her father?
Where were the guards?
Where was her mother?
Surely Nolaa was coming?
She slipped away
Into the crowd
Tried her best to stay hidden
But stayed proud
Her friend Lyn Me
Laughed and pointed from afar
So much for friendship
"What a big sister you are!!"
How she longed for the sun
To feel the soft hot sand
To feel the desert breeze
And the chance to fly off this land
She could have been Rutian
Trained as a yobana
She could have been Lethan
Trained as a lover
She could have been Tyrian
And stayed on Ryloth
But she had been born as a Tukian
Trained as an exotic dancer
A single flame in the darkness
Gave her final bow
Left the world
Became rancor chow
In a bright desert plane
Under the hot sun
Shadows appeared in the dust
Spirits of twilight
Danced in a line
A familiar figure
Graceful and fine
As the sunlight creased
And darkness fell
A single spirit stood
Red eyes twinkled
Green skin glowed
The dancer of the shadows
Slowly faded as a new dawn rose.
