I’d like to retrace the steps
Of our dysrhythmic tango
The rise and fall of breath
The gazes without words
The nights I lay in bed
waiting for your music
to gallop around me in dizzying unpractised steps
The stomping of the feet, the furtive beats went crashing
My eyes were on that dance floor
(You couldn’t hold my hand)
This dance has never ended
