As your love sparkles,
Within,
Like a star,
Within the hymns,
of night sky,
Your breasts,
Tender,
and,
compassionate hills,
Where a...

Just eighty-four, Grandma
Jives to Michael Jackson,
Jogging memories of
Jumping into fox trots
Jolts of Charleston dance,
Joyous beat of brass bands,
Jubilant flapper times.
