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.
