Your love’s become a dance for twos or fours
Your love’s become a dance for twos or fours,
transported by the song to old parquet.
Us couples, arm in arm, flock to the floors,
turn easy arcs and circuits, step and sway.
Dance master has commands and we will swing
ourselves about our partners close at hand.
Your twisting time is bent into a spring,
unwinding with the strut to beat of band.
In interval from pluck to the next strum,
sweet drama re-enacted by us each,
takes pause from urgent motion, waits to come
back with that pull into your tender reach.
Our ordered cycle finds us back at start,
again to form your love into an art.
