We Danced

In the supermarket we danced
Back and forwards in our song
Of failed romance
Challenging our courage and turning circle
Hesitating in anguish lost

Passing our dreams, desires
Of blood red meat
And dark brown coffee
To words electric amongst the batteries
Disappearing amongst the beer

We danced the dance of baskets
The tango of trollies
Hiding our eyes
Avoiding our tongues
To speak in passing

In your earthy look
You registered for me
A money saving offer
Cut from the bargain hunters
Stopped by early closing
We trembled to crescendo
But the cashier closed
With a smile

In the street we danced
In our eyes we spoke
Nothing but desire

In the night we danced
Heating our bones
Desiring bare nothings
Wrestling alone


In a way we loved
Touching your eyes
With faint images of frozen delight
To whisper blown air

Until we dance again

I love this dance ... a dance of desire which can be performed everywhere, no need for a special stage.
Love, Margherita

Karilea - if I whisper, will you listen?
