Richard Evans Poet Free verse

Shall We Dance

my thoughts scream
as I peer 
in silence 
through a broken 
windowpane

you prance
in the foyer 
while playing taps
upside 
a blood-stained wall

revelations 
penetrate 
the rooftop

vows
strewn
across the floor

a skeleton
of forgotten origin
undresses
at our
front door
