Dancing in the dust
By jfarrell
Here we are
Dancing in the dust
The ashes of dreams and hopes
Dancing around us
As we whirl and twirl
Entwined
Tango, fox-trot and the hippy hippy shake
We dance in the dust
We cause whirls and eddies about us
Ghostly images pulled together
So that we don’t dance alone
After the music, we find ourselves
Dancing in the dust
Reliving what-might-have-beens
Our ghosts respond with what might have been different
Dancing together
Dancing in the dust
forever
