Somebody stands up reading poems about dance and the youth from memory. Slippery roads awaiting for us outside wine sparkling in glasses fancy the rain was drying on me. A cliffhanger in a verse another momentarily forgotten you are raving and it’s the 1950s, life is beautiful. Jump up up and higher to the building reach all that was but is no longer. Reach all those young adults leaving terror behind giving a tomorrow’s story to life making you. I was born with a compass in the place of the heart to wipe out the pain of those those who even passed away a graceful breeze in the history of life. Dance dance your way until all is gone but the rhythm sustaining your heart. Dance and I will lift you a raving poem in the 2020s. 22 May 2017, Dundee.
