Keep Dancing; You Make Me Laugh

Keep dancing; you make me laugh.
I’m sure if you knew I was watching, you’d stop dancing,
but you wouldn’t notice anyone watching.
You know, you dance like a chicken with palsy.
Turn the music up, way up!
Keep dancing, you make me laugh.

Sarah Newcomb

You are youth and beauty, raw perfection. Have you stumbled into it? You are not anything but that perfect pitch, and I envy you. Do you work at it?

Do I want to be with you in the hope that your talent will sink into me? To rob you of your gift? No, of that I am sure. I want to be with you. We could make beautiful music together, literally and figuratively. Let’s tangle our bodies and souls and voices in beautiful melody.

Recalls to Memory

Lying,
Music recalls to memory,
Passion,
Joyous great oceans of union, wide rivers of you.
I long for a shared moment, gentle moment,
Loving words, convincing words,
Your breast,
Firelight.

Standing,
Music recalls to memory,
Africa,
Intensity,
Great oceans of love, wide rivers of loss.
Give me a high branch, strong branch,
Strong rope, short rope,
Noose tight,
Take flight.
