Danced
They danced all night.
The neighbors could hear
The loud thumping.
They danced all night
He took the lead
And they spanned a thousand times.
The kids watched
From the crack in their bedroom door
So fearful
As they danced.
He grabs her hand, she’s hesitant
She doesn’t know her moves, so evident
So she let him lead as they dance.
He dipped her back
She Slides out of his hands, she falls
While she’s on the floor, she crawls
He whisk her away off the ground
And they continue to dance.
They dance, they dance
Cuts and bruises on daddy’s hands
Rips in mommy’s pants, mommy cries
As they dance through the night.
