Make merry dance with me
step- ball- changing
until we lose our breath
*
light shimmying across morning eyes
put your feet to the floor for a pas de deux
all jazz hands and exuberance
*
Get on down to breakfast
rockin’ on bran flakes
turning around a cup of tea
toast post one two three
raisins to be cheerful you and me
contra bodies a crochety tango
*
Work those dancing miles with a steady beat
past back aching roundabouts
endless do-sa-do Pontiac Peugot surge n slow
waiting permitting pivot power and pass
*
Go with the flow
friendships comfortable as a hand on the waist
spinning through days and years
a conga of trauma and dilemma
altercation followed by locked step impasse
relative calm – a smooth foxtrot that never lasts
*
Let memory’s moonwalk gather us up
chassé back through good times
hilarious moments cha cha cha
others we danced with some we didn’t
waltzing towards the end
a final pelvic thrust
and no time to curtsy.
