I Can Make You Dance
I can make you dance
hum to songs sang soft or loud beneath the setting sun,
tap and clap to the quickstep jumps and turns and runs;
you could spin and twirl and glide along the weathered floor
feet tapping and clicking begging to do a little bit more
and as the music changes from waltz to tango
or to ballroom extravaganza sambos and salsa fandango,
even disco raptured jive or the east coast swing
you would giggle and chortle at the foolishness of life's lost spring;
but as the years slip by, quick twisted turns rocking away
you would churn and align the dancing squares at play
and then we'd rest these old brittle bones
making our way together along the journey home
or you could watch
and I could do it,
I could dance
and forever keep you laughing with every stance.
