I dance only for you, but the mirror looks on.
I dance only for you, but the mirror looks on.
Matching me turn for turn,
Dipping
and swirling
and undulating.
The rapt attention of a comfortable
Old friend
Bearing silent witness to a burst of passion.
But you are nowhere to be found.
I shake
and shimmy
and shudder.
I rock
and reel
and wreck.
I dance alone.
The mirror looks on.
Matching me turn for turn,
Dipping
and swirling
and undulating.
The rapt attention of a comfortable
Old friend
Bearing silent witness to a burst of passion.
But you are nowhere to be found.
I shake
and shimmy
and shudder.
I rock
and reel
and wreck.
I dance alone.
The mirror looks on.

I like that you wrote a poem about this, it feels good...
I don't why but it reminds me of this poem by William Carlos Williams - maybe because it's just a nod to simple happiness, with a twinge...
This Is Just To Say
I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast
Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold
Thanks for the moment...

That's high praise, indeed. My favorite Williams poem, that. :) Thanks for reading.

I checked to see if they have any of her stuff at the library at school and it looks like we have, among others, a first printing of her Love Book in special collections. :) I'll see if they'll let me check it out for shits. Thanks.
