About This Poem
We Danced in the Kitchen
Hearts mangled by grief
Lost in separate mazes...
Cooking a half-hearted meal
A turn of the head, a quick glance
Trembling hands reach out...
A slow jitterbug shuffle
to sweet soul sounds on the radio...
We danced in the kitchen
Then hold-your-baby-so-tight
Hold-your-baby-so-tight-crying-song
Swaying to Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes
'If you don't know me by now'...
Tear-soaked necks and shouders
Melting into each other
Melting and blending into one...
We danced in the kitchen
Oh how we danced
How we danced to the moon
How we danced to the dawn
How we danced in the kitchen
Sweet Jesus let it be so
Let it be so again
Let the music play on
Let us dance one last song
Let us waltz one last waltz
Let us dance in the kitchen...
